Happy Wednesday:

Today we had a very successful picture day.  The homework for tonight is:

1. Practice your math flash cards- each student wrote down the number of facts that got right in the 3 minute drill today in class.  The goal is for the student to get more than that correct next week.  Our next mad minute will take place next week so keep practicing 🙂  I would love to see more second graders phase out of addition and into subtraction and multiplication.
2. Spelling activities for the week are due tomorrow.  Make sure your child has completed 4 different activities on the spelling Bingo sheet.

2. Finish weekly spelling activities- all 4 spelling activities are due tomorrow!

Tomorrow at 9:00 AM is the MANDATORY parent meeting.  It will last 1 hour and will take place in our classroom.

Every student was able to log into Myon today at school.  Their username and passwords were sent home in September.  If you have lost yours and need me to write it down again please send me an email or a message.  If you are experiencing problems at home still make sure your child is signing in by going through CLEVER on the district web page.  It doesn’t work otherwise.
