It is Almost the End of the First Quarter!

Dear Parents,

Soon, it will be the end of the first quarter! Wow! Time is going by so quickly!

We have been very busy practicing measurement in math and learning about the properties of matter in science.

This week we will focus on beginning blends in spelling. Students should be reading all of their books in their reading bags every night!

At the end of second grade, every child should be reading at a level 28.

Thank you for your support in your child’s education!

Fall is Coming!

Hello Fall!

The weather is starting to change! The cooler temperatures are arriving! Therefore, please make sure to send your child with proper clothing for outside recess.

Starting this week, the second graders will begin a math unit about measurement. In writing, we will continue to write about our apple orchard field using our sensory details. The students will practice and identify words that have the short u and long u sounds.

Please remember there is a parent meeting this Wednesday, October 17 at 10:00am in the cafeteria.

Thank you!
