Happy fall from grade 2!
Students have had an extremely busy week with guidance to lockdown practice drill to the Cromwell center presentation about disabilities to wrapping up unit 2 in math! It was a little bit of everything!
Students continued working on their narrative stories by checking for things that they needed to go back and add such as: zoom in, use of temporal words, edit for spelling, punctuation, capitalization, sequence of events and beginning, middle and end. In case your child forgot- In addition to designing a pizza box into a book students may create a costume to wear as they read their story. Please keep in mind all costumes MUST be appropriate and brought to school in a bag. NO masks or makeup please! After our reading we will have a small snack. If you would like to send in paper products (plates, cups, napkins, plastic Ziplock baggies for leftovers, & plastic ware), drinks or other snacks we would love the donations.
Homework is due on Monday, October 30! Homework packet #7 will be sent home on Monday, October 30 and due the following Monday.
I would like to invite volunteers who have had the volunteer training and who would like to work with small groups in the classroom come to our Flex Day Introduction on Thursday, Nov. 2 at 2:15. At this Flex Day Introduction students and volunteers will create an expectation chart that shows what Flex Day looks and sounds like in our room. It is very important for everyone to be on the same page so students know what to expect. I’m thinking of instead of sending a calendar home I would just have a calendar ready for volunteers to sign up when they come in. Please keep in mind that I am in need of volunteers to photocopy too! Whatever you can do it is greatly apprecited!
Please check your child’s Weekly Tote (white folder with the blue paw print) for weekly papers. Please remove the papers and return the tote to school. This week your child tote should have the following news from the classroom: week #8 newsletter and pizza box with attached letter and student story.
We have a snack break every morning upon arrival. Please make sure your child has a healthy snack and drink.
Treasure Box donations needed! If you have any items such as:
McDonald Happy Meal toys, bookmarks, pencils, small toys, pens, books, small trinkets (Dollar Tree items), notebooks, crayons, Playdough, necklaces, toy rings, erasers, Matchbox cars, or fun note pads we would love to have them for our Traesure Box! Students will have Treasure Box Day next Friday. Students have been earning Paw Coins for great classroom behavior and they are super excited to cash them in for treasure!
Cooler weather is approaching and your child will need to dress appropriately. Please send layers of clothing with your child so they can adjust, as the days get cooler or warmer.
Monday is Library Day! Don’t forget to bring your books! Students have gym class on Tuesday. Please send sneakers and appropriate dress.
Toys and electronics are not permitted in my class unless they remain in the students’ school bag. It is the responsibility of the student if a toy/electronic is lost or damaged.
Again, I look forward to working with you and your child. Please contact me with any questions or concerns.
