We made our class goal of $300. With all of the extra points, I have been able to purchase great books that will interest your children. Our classroom library will be well stocked. Thank you!!

Scholastic Book Order

Scholastic Reading Club

Good Afternoon-
Coming home today is your first Scholastic book order. Attached to the order forms is a parent letter. Please read carefully. This is the time of year that Scholastic likes to give away classroom points. I'm shooting for 10,000 !  I need your help. With that many points, I can get hundreds of books for our classroom library! Every dollar you spend will helps us on our way. If you are unable to order right now, no worries. Read the letter carefully. I need to submit a $300 order by the end of September. It sounds enormous but I have done it before.

Here is a copy of the letter if it is misplaced.

Parent letter


My goal is to have new nonfiction books for the children to use for research.
Thanks Jen

Curriculum Night

We will be having our Curriculum Night on September 25,2014. We will meet in the library for 30 minutes. We will discuss the curriculum and answer any questions you may have. The Second grade teachers are a team and we work together to deliver the curriculum to your children. This not a time to discuss individual students. Parents will have time on November 4th for Parent Conferences with their child's teacher.

RAZ KIDS

What is that? It's an online reading program. Kids can earn stars for reading and taking quizzes. They use the stars to build a rocket or a robot. It's fun.  Look in your child's take home folder for your parent letter and their log in card.
Just a note:  I can see all activity that your child has on the site.
There is an free app for it at iTunes.
It's a great way to become a better reader !

It's the weekend.

Well, almost !

Just a few reminders-
Picture Day is Monday, September 8th.

PE will be on Tuesday- Bring sneakers and something to tie back your hair(if needed).

We have had a busy and wonderful week.

Have a great rest this weekend.

Making 10's

Ten has been the focus of our math work this week. We have been writing and drawing about math in our Math journals. Quiz your kids- Say a number from 0-10 and see if they know what makes ten with that number. Ex. you say 6 they say 4. Making ten facts should become automatic.

Tomorrow is our first visit to the library this year. We go every Thursday afternoon.

Homework folders went home on Tuesday. Keep all the work together in the folder until Friday. This way I can see the reading log and the Math all at the same time. Our homework is sent home at the beginning of the week It contains a few Math worksheets and a reading log. At this time of the year, we would like the kids to read 10 minutes a night.
