Mrs. Patterson's 2nd grade class

Today each student is bringing home a planner that they are to use everyday to write down their homework.  Please check your child’s planner everyday and sign or initial the bottom so I know you have seen it. I will be checking.

Homework:

1. Read for 20 minutes on Myon
2. Complete your third weekly spelling activity.  All 4 are due on THURSDAY

Homework:

1. Math worksheet- place value and expanded form. DUE TOMORROW
2. Complete a spelling activity for the week. DUE THURSDAY
3. Read- remember the 1st grader AND 2nd grader with the most read Myon minutes each month will get a prize during the ticket drawing.  I only pull a few tickets every month so it’s a great way to ensure you get a prize.
4. Turn in all ASSISTANCE LEAGUE COAT AND SHIRT forms if you have not already.

We had a great day today 🙂  Today we started to learn how to compare numbers: greater than, less than, and equal to.

Homework:

1. Complete your first spelling activity for the week (Remember you might want to do more than 1 spelling activity in case you have a busy week next week.  4 activities are due every Thursday.)
2. Complete the “How many tens and ones” homework sheet.

Spelling words this week:

1st grade: rid, slid, kid, wig, pig, read, art, music, gym, book

2nd grade: went, pet, hut, job, rub, school, recess, music, book, try

Tonight is Open house from 6:00-7:30.  I hope to see you there.  Every student who attends with their parent gets tickets and earns a chance to win a prize!

Homework tonight:

1. Spelling Test tomorrow- study tonight.
2. Read for 20 minutes.

In case you misplaced your spelling Bingo there is a link to it above and a picture below.  Click on the page that says Spelling Bingo.

Here are the spelling words again just in case.

Homework tonight:

1. Complete the third weekly spelling activity- remember all 4 are due on Thursday.
2. Read for 20 minutes on Myon tonight.

Today we began our NWEA test for reading.  We will finish the reading test tomorrow.  Wednesday we will take the NWEA math test.  Remember that Thursday is the Oakman open house- I look forward to seeing all of you there 🙂

Homework:

1. Complete a weekly spelling homework- all 4 activities are due Thursday

Each student is bringing home their spelling words for the next week.  I have attached the spelling lists for both 1st grade and 2nd grade.  1st graders will only have the spelling words listed on their spelling test (All spelling tests are on Fridays), 2nd graders will have these words plus 5 mystery words (These words are either sight words or follow the same spelling pattern as the given words).

 

I have also sent home a laminated copy of the Spelling Bingo Sheet for each student.  This is for your child to keep and will be used the entire school year so please put it in a safe place.  Each week the students will need to complete 4 spelling Bingo activities throughout the week.  The students will bring home their new words on Friday and the 4 activities will be due on the following Thursday.  The students should do their chosen activities in their spelling binder: if they choose a computer task you may either print it out or the student can share it with me on google-docs.  You may do this by hitting the share button and typing in Jennifer Titsworth.  If the child chooses a *parent signature activity, please write the name of the activity in their notebook and then sign in.

 

I will not collect any spelling activities during the week, only on Thursdays, so make sure you have them all together in your notebook.

Homework this weekend:

1. Complete a spelling activity [ or more ]  – I always recommend that students complete as many of the 4 spelling activities as they can over the weekend.  Families often have events that take place after school during the week and if your spelling is done your child will have less homework every day.
   
2. Have a wonderful time with your family 🙂

Hello everyone,

Today was a great day.  We had media and science enrichment for the first time this year 🙂  Tomorrow we have music in the afternoon, Monday we have art, and Tuesday we have music and P.E.  If you have not yet purchased your school supplies make sure you do that- we will begin using our notebooks and folders on Monday.

Homework tonight:  Our writing prompt today was to write about your family.  Students were to write about their families AND draw a picture of their families on the white paper provided.  We will be displaying these in our classroom.  Students are to finish their papers and drawings for homework tonight.  1st graders must have at least three sentences, 2nd graders must have 5 sentences.  You can include your family members’ names, ages, descriptions (what do they look like), and interests (what do they like to do.)  We are displaying these for open house so remember to do your best work.

Welcome to a new school year at Oakman.  I am very excited to be your child’s teacher this year.  We spent today developing classroom rules and procedures, learning about our teacher, and learning about each other.

Each child brought home their Oakman folder today- There is important paperwork in there that must be returned.  Make sure you double check the information on your child’s contact card.  If the information is correct, sign the back and return it tomorrow.  If it’s incorrect, fix the mistakes, sign, and return tomorrow.  Please make sure you add the names of your child’s siblings if they are not already on the card.

There is also a packet from me in the folder. Please sign the back of the forms asking for volunteers- even if you cannot volunteer this year.  I want to have an email address and phone number in case I need to contact you.  The expectations form is for both 1st and 2nd graders- unfortunately when I made copies the 1st grade got cut off.

Our lunch time is from 12:00-12:30.  This may be later in the day than your child is used to.  Make sure your child eats a good breakfast everyday and brings a snack.
