Welcome Back! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and found some time to relax. Now it's time to get back to work!
READING: We will be reading Shoes from Grandpa. The story test will be on Friday.
The vocabulary words are: family, grown, weather, new, jeans, and buy. Due to the shortened week, the students will only be required to take one A.R. test this week.
ALL students should be reading for AT LEAST 20 minutes 3 times a week. The reading calendar in the back of the purple folder needs to be signed every time your child reads. I would really like to see all students reading nightly. The CRCT test will be here before you know it, and we want to be prepared!!
SPELLING: We are on Unit #15. The words are: good, our, new write, and me.
The test and sentence dictation will be on Friday.
GRAMMAR: We will be learning about and working a lot with adjectives this week. Please look for adjectives (describing words) in your nightly reading.
WRITING: This 9 weeks we are doing persuasive writing.
MATH: This 9 weeks all students in second grade will stay with their own teacher. We will start off learning about fractions. We will no longer be doing "Math Blaster" but that does not mean that you stop practicing those math facts. This is something that should be practiced daily. Let me know if you want some practice sheets to copy.
Reminders:
On Tuesday I will meet with the other teachers to schedule conferences.
They will be held January 26th-30th. This week we will have early release at 12:20 daily. Report cards will be distributed during Parent-Teacher Conferences.
Thursday, January 15th is Domino's Pizza night. Don't forget to order your pizza between 5:00 and 6:00 and I might just deliver it right to your front door. The class with the highest pizza orders will receive a pizza party.
On Monday, January 19th there is NO SCHOOL~ MLK Holiday
Our TARGET day is now on FRIDAYS.
Happy New Year,
Mrs. McCoy
