The Daigneault News week #14
Greetings from second grade!
Due to a fire drill at dismissal time this past Monday several students left their book bags at school. Since bags were left at school many students did not have their homework packets. I am giving students an extra day for homework so packets are due on Tuesday, December 13.
In honor of earning the letters for the “Reward Word” word students voted to have Stuffie/PJ Day next Friday, December 16.
This week students focused on comparing/contrasting different versions of the Nutcracker. Students also started learning how children around the world celebrate Christmas!
Every year my class collects new and gently used books for our annual “Books for Tots” book program. If you have books you would like to donate please send them to our classroom and students will get them ready to donate to younger children in preschool/daycare settings.
Homework was sent home this past Monday, December 5. It is due on Tuesday, December 13! A reading log and cover letter explaining homework is in the packet. Please encourage your child to read and record minutes read and/or read to for our class bulletin board “Reading Minute Challenge”! Let’s watch our little owls (student owls) fly to the 5,000 minute mark by the end of the year for a special surprise!
Our Mystery Reader for next Thursday, December 15, is Alexianna! Be on the look out for following week’s reader! The Mystery Reader will select a special book he/she would like to read to the class on Thursday the following week. Please encourage your child, when chosen, to practice their book so they will be ready to read it to the class. I will help children choose developmentally appropriate reading books. On the unveiling day I will give clues to the class to see if they know who the Mystery reader is! Our reading specialists have many learning to read books for second graders. Just let me know if your child needs assistance.
The Star Student of the Week was Isabella! We learned some interesting facts about her. Students completed a Star Student Times sheet to be compiled into a book at the end of the year! Parker is the next share student. I’m very excited to learn about everyone. We will each complete a Star Student page at the end of the week to be compiled into a book to bring home at the end of the year.
Remember to bring warm clothes for recess! Don’t forget your snow gear!
Wanted! I’m looking for donations of the following items: seasonal stickers, baby wipes, Scrabble game letter tiles, an old chair that looks like a throne for students to use as the “Author’s Share Chair” and tape measures (16) for our class. I greatly appreciate any donation you can give! Thank you very much to the grandparents, moms, dads and friends that have donated to our class!
