It was great to see so many parents on Thursday night. If you would like to follow up on anything we discussed please email me or stop by before or after class. We will be using the Dolch Sight words for the second grade for two more weeks, then the spelling words will be more challenging for the students. Also I will have students read to me out loud periodicity and will be checking for pronunciation during this time. Thank you for all your suggestions and offers to help throughout the year.

This week we had our first presentation on explaining how each team grouped leafs that they had collected into categorizes and which one is their favorite leaf. I was very impressed by how well it went. We will have many more class presentations throughout the year.

Just a reminder that the students’ supplies should be continuously stocked full throughout the year. I find certain items like glue and red pens get lost or used up quite quickly.

Next week we will start our first Social Studies chapter on Family. We will be making a family tree and the students will be asked to bring in photos of family members to be put into their first portfolio entry. In Math we will start chapter 3 on subtraction. In Reading we will continue with our stories concentrating on facts and opinions.

Student of the week;
