Second graders wrote fairy tales and shared them with their class.  

Last six weeks… I can hardly believe this year has flown by so fast!
The last six weeks is full of track days, reward days, field trips and all sorts of excitement! As we wind the year down we still have a lot of learning left to do! In math we will be finishing with shapes, time telling, measurements, and data!
In our last six weeks of science gear up for a Making Matter with Mom and Bottle Rockets with Dad. More dates and information to follow. Finishing up the year in science we will be learning about types of matter as well as energy forms.
In reading and writing we are going to be writing clue poems about an imaginary city as well as finish out the year with our non-fiction literacy unit. Students will learn all about books with facts and how they can be just as cool as story-telling works of fiction.
In religion we have been preparing all year and the time is near to not only make our first Reconciliation, but they will also be receiving their first Holy Communion and what a joyous occasion it is!
April and May are busy months and will be sure to fly by, but it has been such a great and exciting year watching your kids grow! Here’s to a happy spring!

• Planners are to be filled out by student daily. Spelling words and the current day are expected to be filled out in class. However, if you notice your child does not have this filled in, please let me know and I will be happy to send a photo to you through dojo so you have the necessary information.

• Spelling Tests will ALWAYS be on a Friday, unless we do not have school that Friday, then they will be on the Thursday prior. You will be notified of this change through planners and class dojo.

• AR goals are a mutual decision between me and your child. I am more than happy to let you know where they are at progress wise through class dojo. I will also be sending progress updates at 3 weeks, and when there is one week remaining.

• Nightly Reading- 30 minutes EVERY NIGHT

• Lexia is a great resource if your child has a tablet or computer. However, it is NOT REQUIRED at home. If I feel your child would benefit from more Lexia I will notify you and ask you to address this at home.

• HOMEWORK- this is ALWAYS due the next day. This will typically consist of 1 math paper nightly, 2-3 spelling practice backpack pages weekly, and 2-3 handwriting practice pages weekly, and the nightly reading. Your child is given time to complete homework in class. However, I would like parents to be double checking this work and letting me know if you have any concerns.
