Hello second grade families,
I apologize, I did not get this weekly update out last
night. This week has been busy. Last
night I got home and started writing the weekly update, and then my computer
battery was dying. I had left my charger at school, so that is
why there was a delay.
I hope everyone’s week is off to a great start. There is a lot going on this week as well as
next week. First, I want to thank everyone for signing up for parent conferences. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. I am looking forward to meeting with
families. If parents want two different times
to meet for conferences, I am flexible and able to do that. Please let me know if you would like to
schedule more than one.
TOMORROW THURSDAY OCTOBER 25th IS UNITY DAY AT
SCHOOL. It is a day where students come
together to stand up against bullying and preventing bullying situations. If students have a DBS “Otters Don’t Bully” T
Shirt please wear it that day. If they
do not, please just have them wear anything orange.
Student pictures did come in yesterday. We were running behind schedule at the end of
the day, so I did not get a chance to hand them out this afternoon. Pictures will be in your child’s blue folder tonight. Please make sure they keep bringing in their
communication folder back to class.
The book fair is going to be taking place next week starting
on Monday, the 29th. Our
class will have a chance to shop during school time. There will be times after school and during
conferences that the book fair will stay open, so families can shop together on
their own time.
There will be no Weekly Update or spelling homework next
week due to the short week and Halloween activities happening Wednesday
night. I have only received three
parents that need a SCHOOL LUNCH for their child for Wednesday. If you need your child to have a school lunch
that day, please make sure to email me tonight.
Next week, the class and whole school will be having fire
safety lessons and prevention training.
They will also learn what to do in emergencies. Students will learn how important it is to
know their address and telephone number as well.
This week’s spelling words focus on short and long U
words. The emergent words are focusing
on words that begin with K, L, and J.
In math the students are learning how to add two digit
numbers using number lines and taking jumps of ten, five, and ones from any
number.
In Science, the students have been practicing presenting
their Monarch butterfly knowledge and sharing their designs for their butterfly
house. In the following weeks, they will
be presenting to other classes. They are
doing a fabulous job!
The students have been working on their fluency and
comprehension with their reading. The class is practicing sequencing and
putting the timeline of events in order for the characters that we are reading
about.
The students have loved having the growing change in for
their lessons about the life cycle of a plant.
Right now the students are observing flowers that are in cups of water and
food coloring. On Friday, they will be
seeing if their prediction of what would happen to the flowers were correct.
They have been hard workers and I am super proud of them! If you have any questions or concerns, please
feel free to email me.
Sincerely,
Ms. Mac
