Weekly News…

Happy Friday Families!

This was a busy week, with our first field trip, 2nd grade math test, PBIS movie afternoon and 1/2 day. I finished my assessing and we are now in full swing of Cafe Daily 5. Students are getting good fit books sent home. Please make sure they return daily. They must read 20 every night and this includes their book from school. Starting in October they will have Think and Compare comprehension questions to answer in complete sentences. I normally give 3 days to complete.

In social studies we are learning about communities, and geography of Michigan.

The students are learning about the writing process and we start with Plan, Organize, Draft, Revise, Edit, Publish. We are continuing writing narratives. Last week we wrote about a vacation in Michigan and plotted it on a map. This week we wrote about a special time we had in Dearborn. Next week in writing we will begin our October “Boo Boo” stories.

2nd graders – Math test Module 1 is coming home. Sign it and return it Monday. Our next Module is focusing on measurement. Please refer to the Math page on the blog for lesson reviews.

Finally, we said “farewell” to Mrs. Lee, our teacher assistant today. She retired from Dearborn after 32 years of teaching in Dearborn.

Have a great weekend!
