This Week's Happenings

5/2/16

Monday: Day 5 > Library Class
Tuesday: Day 6 > Art Class
Wednesday: Day 7 > Phys. Ed.
Thursday: Day 8 > Music Class
Friday: Day 9 > Computer Class

Review the spelling words in the green notebook.

There will be a Decodable Reader to read on Friday called “Helping at the Zoo”. This should be read several times so that the children do not need
to sound out any words. Therefore, they will achieve appropriate fluency. Sign the book and send it back on Monday.

No spelling, comprehension or written tests this week. All three will be on Monday, May 9. So remember to review the spelling words that are coming home today for next week.

Remember to review the words in the blue notebook. These words should be read on sight. They should not have to be sounded out.

Topic 14 continues, in math; please review all pages that come home. Assessment will be next week.

Addition facts up to 9 should be memorized. This will not happen unless they are practiced at home. There are very few children who are able to give answers on sight. In second grade it is very helpful if the children do not need to take the time to figure out the addition problems.
Thanks for your cooperation.

Homework is always to read every night with your child.

-Don’t forget that our room is chilly at times. Please send in a jacket, sweatshirt or sweater WITHOUT a hood. Even though the temperatures are slowly rising outside, our room’s temperature does not.

-We will be going outside for recess unless it is raining or below 40 degrees so send your son/daughter with weather appropriate clothing.

-Now that the weather is getting nicer, you may send hats and/or sunglasses to school with your child for recess.

**Review Friday Folder material. Sign the back page and return on Monday. **

I hope you have a special week!

Monday (5/9) will be Day 10 > Guidance Class
