Our first full week of
school is complete! This week, we read the story Ruby the Copy Cat. We
talked about the beginning, middle and end of stories. When your child is reading at home, have them recall these parts of the story. We will continue this skill next week with the story Pigsty. The story of a boy who has a room that is messy and
it keep getting messier. I wonder if any of the students can relate! We will
finish up compound words and move on to nouns. In writing, we are working
to understand the writing process and how to write a narrative. Centers were
introduced and we hope to try them out next week!
We have started
Envisions Math and are working with learning addition and subtraction
strategies. Next week, look for students to have their log-in and passwords in
their binders so they can access games and resources at home. Students can
practice their doubles facts like 1+1, 2+2, etc. We learned the math game, Chop.
Our rules and
responsibilities unit will wrap up next week. This week, we discussed how
different settings have different rules. We read the story Clark the Shark and
learned to "Stay Cool and Follow the Rules".
Important Information:
* There has been a
misprint regarding 2nd grade fees. The total is $38 NOT $42. Sorry for the
confusion.
* Next week, we will be collecting non-perishable and canned goods for the Avon vs. Avon Lake CRS Souper Bowl.
* Spelling Words: The
paper that comes home saying pretest on Mondays is the student's
spelling words for the week.
* Record nightly reading
on the calendar at the front of the planner located in student binders.
* Next week, you will
get a letter regarding Gradebook Wizard.
* Reminder there is a PTA meeting on Wednesday, September 2nd at 3:45.
Thanks,
Miss Wilhelm
