Newsletter - 10/14/16

Dear Parents and Guardians,

 Thank you for taking the time to meet with me for Parent/Teacher conferences and for sharing your Hopes and Dreams for your child’s second grade year.   

In the Classroom
    
In Writer’s Workshop, the students are learning how to add adjectives to their writing which makes their writing more interesting and helps add detail.  The focus in word work has been on R-controlled vowels.  Please help your child study for the upcoming second grade word test on Friday, 10/21.  This test will cover all four weeks of accountable words (16 words).  A review sheet will be sent home.

In Reader’s Workshop, the focus in guided reading groups has been on Informational Text (non-fiction) and learning about the text features.  During the read aloud, I have been reading a chapter book called Best Enemies and the kids are learning about character traits.  

Math - I hope you have been enjoying math game night with your child!  So far you have learned how to play penny plate and turning over 10.  Game night is a fun way to reinforce the concepts being taught in class.  The dollar bill, ten dollar bill and hundred dollar bill was introduced to their “bank” of coins.  They are playing trading games using coins and bills. 

Science - Pumpkin Day – Friday, October 28   Please send in a small pumpkin for your child to do scientific observations and experiments with!

As always, please feel free to contact me if there is anything I can do to attend to your child’s educational needs.  My contact information is below.
