Every Monday in February students and staff are encouraged to wear red to show our support for the American Heart Association. School wide Book Read: The book Frindle was sent home Friday with a letter to explain our school wide book read. The idea is to get the whole family reading. Each family will get one copy of the book (the oldest sibling should have gotten the book) and we want to encourage reading together at home by following the reading schedule that was in the note. Please let me know if your family did not get a book or you need another note. We will also be reading Frindle in class and doing activities along the way. We will celebrate the end of the book with Literacy Night on Thursday, March 7th from 6-7. The whole family is welcome to come enjoy the book fair and a variety of other activities that will be themed around the book. Tuesday, February 5th: Hat Day, bring .25 cents or a boxed/canned food item to help support our Willard Food Pantry. Friday, February 15th: Classroom Friendship Party, a note will be coming home with more details and a class list. Students are welcome to bring a decorated box for Valentines. If they do not have a box by Friday I will let them decorate a bag to hold all of their Valentines. It is also a half day, students will be dismissed at 12:30. Please call the office or email me if your child is going home a different way. Monday, February 18th: School is IN SESSION, this will be our snow day make up. Friday, February 22nd: Leadership Day. We will have visitors from around our community, board members and other school staff coming to see how we use the Leader in Me program in our school. They will be coming to community time, visiting student action teams and classrooms. Community Time will start at 9:00 instead of 8:25. Classroom Behavior: I am having to go over rules and expectations again and again with students because of their disrespectful behavior toward myself and other peers. Please remind your child at home the importance of following directions and being respectful to everyone. You can help by checking their behavior calendar in their STAR folder every night to see what kind of day they had. We have also had some items go missing in our classroom. We've had many discussions about stealing and what to do if you find something that doesn't belong to you. However, you might want to remind your child all personal items should be left at home. What We Are Learning: Math: We just completed our time and money unit. However, this is a life skill you can continue to help your child with at home. Our next topic is place value to 1,000 and understanding of each digit represents an amount of ones, tens, and hundreds. This will lead into adding and subtracting three digit numbers with regrouping. Writing: We are writing opinion papers. Students must state their opinion and give supporting reasons of why they have that opinion. Our next piece will be "The Best Part of Me." Reading: While reading fiction texts we are asking and answering questions to show understanding of key details. Our new second grade goal is to retell a story. When your child reads at home please encourage them to answer questions and retell the story they just read. Social Studies: We are finishing up locating the 7 continents and 5 major oceans. Next we will be going into reading maps. |
