 Being responsible in class was this week's theme. We have been continuing to work on taking responsibility for ourselves in the class and acting like responsible second graders. Every student should be asking themselves what they need to be doing to be responsible.

We had our first Math quiz this week.  Next week we will finish Chapter 2 on addition facts and start Chapter 3 on subtraction facts.

Just a reminder to the parents: please sign all the tests your child brings home and return them to school with the child.  All the signed tests will be placed in a student binder.

In English we have been learning about "The Sentence" and we will continue with this next week.

In Reading we read a story about a pig called "Julius" and next week we will read a story called "Mrs. Brown goes to town". I have some CDs with all the stories on them. Please let me know if you would like to borrow one of the CDs so your child may listen to the story at home.

In Social Studies we worked on Unit 1 about the government. Next week we will read and discuss lesson 4 (Our Country's

Government) and lesson 5 (community and state governments).

Congratulations to Jessica for being this weeks student of the week. She is very responsible in class. She was also elected as the second grade class president by the students this week. Keep it up!
