Monday

Good Afternoon!
Welcome to the first full week of second grade!  We had a great day today!  After working through lunch count and our new "CHICO" (Check In Check Out) system, we had the pleasure of having Mrs. Jones come in to do a math lesson.  It was great to see how much our class remembers from last year! We are great mathematicians already!

We began a new writing assignment that will occur every week: Weekend News.  STudents pick a topic that happened over the weekend about which to write. We began with a 5 Finger Planner to map out the topic and details. Tomorrow we will turn these into sentences.

After snack and a movement break outside, Mrs. Cannon came in to finish a lesson from last week Friday. We are making a class book based on a book called The Important Book. We should be finished by Open House for you to see!

In word work today, I introduced new word wall words: after, are, because, before and could. These are the focus for this week.  I sent home the entire September list in the homework packet.  If you could help your child practice these words, that would be great.

After lunch and recess, we talked about the homework packet. Please let me know if you have questions. The September reading log is due at the end of the month.  The other papers are due next Monday.

We read Officer Buckle and Gloria and made a class contract about the rules of 2F: another thing for you to see at Open House. This afternoon, we worked on handwriting and reading benchmarks along with Scholastic News for some.  Monday's group went to the library.

Carlie, Owen, Ava, and Logen are the group that go to the library on Mondays.
