Mrs. Ballnik’s Classroom News     My email is ballnic@dearbornschools.org

Parent Conferences-  Thank-you for sending back the blue slip from your Parent-Teacher Conference invitation.  If you did not receive a blue invitation, please contact me.  I am still waiting for some of your replies.

SCIENCE – We are learning about the uses and properties of water for our next unit.

PLANNERS– Please send these every day, because we use them. The spelling words will be written in them, also. There is a charge, if a planner is lost.

SPELLING WORDS FOR NEXT WEEK ARE endings –s, -ed, -ing.  Please continue to point out the pattern of the spelling words each week and help your child discover words with these patterns in their reading.  Soon, your child will be pointing these out to you, if they do not already.  A good idea is to get a blank notebook and keep a list.  Send them in for extra credit.

The words will be: calls, cools, drags, filled, grinned, hiked, hugged, jogged, lifted, patting, racing, shaking, sliding, winning, yelled.

Social Studies– Our next unit is, “Where is my community and what is it like?”  We are learning about direction words and maps.  I am still accepting maps of bedrooms.  Several students received extra credit for doing these.  Please point out the names of streets in your neighborhood and make sure that your child can say his/her address.  

Congratulations to Sara Mowari for being the Star Student!

Mrs. McCormick gave Wafa Almuraisi the honor of being the best “bucket filler” (doing a helpful job to the class) for the second grade this month!

     Have a fantastic weekend with your wonderful child,
