It was great to meet so many of you this morning at "Meet the Teacher". Our first day of second grade is right around the corner and I couldn't be more excited! We have some neat activities planned and I know your children will just love second grade.
Language Arts:
Second grade will have an Olympic theme this week. We will be working on many things such as interviews and glyphs to learn more about each other. We will discuss and write about what expectations second graders have including manners and school rules. We hope you will continue to read at home. All second graders are expected to read 100 minutes a week. You will be able to record their reading time in the communication folder that comes home every day.
Math:
This week we will focus on time. We will review analog and digital times and counting by fives. Math homework will come home on Tuesdays this year and it will be due on Wednesdays. There is no homework the first week of school.
Social Studies:
We will talk about what makes a "gold medal" second grader this week! We will also practice filling each other's buckets with compliments. We will review the school behavior goals: Be Safe, Be Responsible, and Be Respectful and make some posters to share with the rest of the school.
Reminders for the Week:
* Go to the cafeteria in the morning and sit with our class until the bell rings at 7:35
* Your child will be counted tardy if they are not in our classroom by 7:45
* Please send a nutritious snack each day
* Open House is September 5th (details to come)
* Send back communication folders each day, signed
* "What lights you up" homework is due on Friday, August 31st
* Me in a Nutshell (brown bag) homework is due Friday, August 31st
* Complete and return pink cards on Wednesday (they will be in the Tuesday folders)
Have a great rest of your weekend, and I will see everyone on Monday morning!
