Welcome to our second grade blog. Please bookmark this site so you can refer to it weekly throughout the entire school year.
Reading Bag: After reading for 20 minutes, please help your child fill in the reading log with the book title and place the completed book bag in his/her backpack. It is vital to our reading program that your child brings the book back to school every day. Thank you for your help.
Assignment Notebook: Please sign your child's assignment notebook every night. If your child forgets it at school, check the blog to see what the assignments for the day are (see right sidebar)
Homework: spelling and math homework have officially begun. You can expect your child to have math homework every night, Monday-Thursday, and a new spelling packet most every week. The spelling packet will always be due on Friday. Please help your child work on their 6 high frequency words throughout the week.
MAP Tests: Your child completed MAP testing (a standardized test taken on the computer). We took a Reading, Math and Language test.While it is only one tool, it gives me great information to meet each child's academic needs and help them flourish in second grade. You will receive results later this fall.
Surprise Reader- Every Friday at 12:00, a parent surprise reader comes in to read one of their child's favorite picture books from home. It is my goal to have every family represented- it could be mom, dad, cousin, grandparent... I am flexible if the time/day does not work for your schedule. Please let me know and we can make special arrangements. I included all the open Fridays in the email I sent "The Blog Is Updated".
Healthy Snack- please have your child help you choose a healthy snack to bring to school each day. School is hard work and we move at a fast pace. It is important for your child to be fueled with foods that will give them energy and mind power to do their best. Foods high in sugar will cause their energy to spike and then plummet. Thank you for your support.
Ask Your Child:
Which read aloud did the class just finish? (Pirates Past Noon- Magic Tree House)
Can you retell me the story?
A community is a place where people...(live work, play and make decisions)
Where do writers get ideas? (from people or animals they love, something they love to do, something that frightens them, a place they love)
What is the sum? (The answer to an addition problem)
Who is your 4th grade reading buddy?
