This Week
Do not forget that this is a shortened week due to parent teacher conferences. There will be an early dismissal on Thursday and no school on Friday. If you have not signed up yet and would like to meet with me, please call or return your pink form to set up a time. If you are unable to make it but would like a phone conference, please let me know. I look forward to meeting with all of you to discuss your wonderful children!
Looking ahead to March, we have a very busy month planned. Wednesday March 7 is Grandfriend’s Day. A grandfriend is a grandparent, or other special friend/relative. We would like our grandfriends to join us for chapel at 8:30 and stay for refreshments and the book fair until 10:00 am. At that time, we will say “goodbye” to our grandfriends and continue with a normal school day.
Don’t forget to help out with our preparations for the March 18th open house. Our interviews, posters, etc. are due Friday March 9th so that I can add items where needed.
Reading/Creative Writing
This week we are reading stories about outer space. We will focus on identifying the main idea and review glossary usage. During creative writing time, we are starting a short poetry unit. We will look at examples of other poems and produce some of our own. This week we will work on poems with similies and list poems.
Phonics/Language
Our topic of the week is pronouns. The sound of the week is the short u sound spelled “ou” as in “cousin”.
Math
We are continuing to take addition timed tests this week. Everyone has made tremendous improvements, but some students would still benefit from additional practice at home. It is expected that all second graders know their basic addition facts quickly and accurately. Last week we started a new unit on fractions. This seemed to be a new concept to most students. Be sure to check your child’s homework as they may need extra help with this new concept.
This Week’s Assignments
It has been awhile since I have received reading logs from some students. Keep turning those in for stickers!
