Hello All!
We had another FABULOUS week in 2A!  We have been working on building stamina for the Daily 5 and have gone over 20 minutes!  The second graders are very PROUD of themselves and so am I!   So far, we have been practicing work on writing, word works, and read to self!  This week we are going to be adding listen to reading and read to someone!  Here are some examples of work from work on writing and word works!

 WORD WORKS

WRITING

In literacy, we have also been doing an author study on Kevin Henkes.  We have discussed and practiced various reading strategies using his books.  Here are a couple of 2A's favorites!  Ask them to tell you about these stories! "Check for understanding!"

Math will be exciting this week, since we will be starting math groups on Tuesday!  During math groups, the students will work on math journals and facts, work on math games, and work with the teacher.  These groups will be small groups so that everyone gets more teacher time with the math lessons!  

On Wednesday, we are hoping our Painted Lady caterpillars will be arriving in the mail!  We will have a lot of exciting news to post as they arrive!

A PEEK AT OUR WEEK:

Monday:  Art, please bring milk money if your child wants milk, if not please send a note telling me that your child does not want milk

Tuesday:  Tech time and PICTURE DAY!  Please make sure your child has their picture envelope with money for pictures or with it marked NO, we do not want school pictures!  Thanks!

Wednesday:  3-hour early dismissal and PE today!

Wear athletic shoes!

Thursday:  Music

Friday:  Library books are due and we have our SPELLING TEST!

HERE IS COPY OF OUR LIST FOR THIS WEEK, in case you would like to practice them at home.  The list should always be available in the BEE folders too.  The list will always have 6 words with the spelling rule, 2 reviews on consonant blends, and two tricky words.  

Our Ipads have finally arrived! 

 Please make sure you have done an apple id for your child so that we can start putting on the learning apps that we will be using in the classroom.  Thanks!

I hope you had a great weekend with your child!  I am looking forward to another fun week in 2A!
