Class Pictures Update!

                                                           

Student pictures for the yearbook will be taken on Tuesday, September 30 and I just realized this is a PE day! Please have the students come to school in their regular uniform. Students can change into PE clothes if necessary after the photos have been taken. Let me know if you have any questions! 

Math Night

                                                               

Please join us for Math Night on Tuesday, September 30 from 6:30 to 7:30 pm. The evening will kick off with an introduction by Mr. Hovland and our math coordinator, Mrs. McGowan. Parents will then go to a grade level of their choice, where teachers will share a math activity.

Headphones Needed!

Students have been using iPads more and more each day for spelling, reading, and math. Most of our apps have sound and therefore require the kids to wear their headphones. If your child has already brought their headphones, then you can ignore this reminder. Thank you!

Acting Out Our Writing!

Students used details to describe shells, fossils, and rocks to warm up our brains for writing details in Writer's Workshop!

Back of Spelling Words...

My apologies for not explaining the back of the spelling word list! 

Students are not expected to turn this in; it is simply just a place to practice writing their words at home. Let me know if you have any questions! 

Students Learn How to Use Spelling City

Every week we will use Spelling City, an app that has interactive games to help students master vocabulary and spelling skills. Today was our first day to use the program and it seems to be a big hit! 

Spelling Test Info

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Your child will be coming home with their first set of spelling words today. 

We will be reviewing sight words for our first list so therefore everyone will have the same words. Please note that we study the same words for two weeks, so this means your child will take their first spelling test on Thursday, September 26.

Storytelling with Art

Students studied Norman Rockwell paintings and wrote the story they believed the artist was trying to convey to the viewer. 

Kicking Off Our Storytelling Unit...

with a little help from Mrs. Harder...

And Mr. Mongardi...

And the second grade team!
