Hello!
Oh my goodness—here we are in the first week of October! Can you believe it?
Plans for our Hive:
Spelling: (Long and short o), pop, cone, rob, robe, joke, box, bone, fox, lock and poke. Our bonus words are: alone, throne and produce. Our sentence is: The fox in the box told us a funny joke.
Reading: We will continue to work on making connections with our books and looking for interesting words to help us expand our vocabulary.
Math: Our tests came home from Module 1. We will continue to use these strategies in Module 2 (Measurement—Addition and Subtraction of Length), so please continue to practice these types of addition and subtraction problems at home to reinforce these processes.
Writing: Continuation with our Personal Narratives— writing about a time we got a “Boo-Boo”. We created our story boards/sketches and have begun our first drafts. We will work on revisions and then onto our final copies for the hallway bulletin board.
Social Studies: Concluding our first unit and I anticipate a test on Friday. Please watch your child’s planner.
Other tidbits:
* An enormous THANK YOU to Mrs. Malmsten for popping and popping on Friday. You were awesome!!!!
*Book orders due on Tuesday, October 2nd.
*Keep those Box Tops coming—–THANK YOU!!!!
*A school wide project has just begun—Operation Christmas Stockings: For many years we have been collecting extra Halloween candy and sending it to our troops through an organization called “Boatsie’s Boxes”. This year we are changing it up a bit. What this means to you is that each classroom will be collecting goods that are put into individual stockings (16″-19″) to be sent overseas to service troops that are serving our country. We will begin collecting NOW! All items will get shipped November 5th and students will be filling them Friday, November 2nd. If you would like to donate more, feel free and you can still send in extra Halloween candy. You can also make a cash donation in the office to help purchase the stockings if you’d like. Thanks in advance and we think this will make a great addition to the program we do in the spring for the veterans! 2nd grade is responsible for dried fruit and life savers. All your donations are GREATLY appreciated!!!!!
“BEE” the reason someone smiles today!
Fondly,
Mrs. Burke
