Spelling Please click on the link below to access our weekly spelling list! Week 1: Short a and Short i Reminders Please remember to turn in your Time for Kids money as soon as possible. Each subscription costs $5 per child and covers the cost of weekly magazines for the entire year! Also, each student will need a one-inch binder with a clear, plastic cover. We are going to be using these to collect evidence of learning and set goals for this school year. This tool will aide students in taking ownership of their own learning! | Dates to Remember Friday, September 22nd: All-American Karate Demo {I'll post pics of this next week!} Friday, September 22nd: Scholastic Book Orders Due {Go to the Scholastic Book Clubs tab up above for help with online ordering} Saturday, September 23rd: All-American Karate Event 3:30-5:00pm {Flyer will be coming home on Monday!} Monday, September 25th: Early Dismissal for Students @ 11:10am |

Here's What's Happening in Second Grade!
During math, we will focus on identifying patterns on a hundreds chart, skip counting by 5's and 10's, and classifying a number as odd or even. We will be using a really fun web-based game called "Splat Square" to identify patterns on a hundreds chart. You can try it out at home by clicking HERE!
We are headed into our second week of writing boot camp. I hope that your student was excited about writing last week and maybe you even got to hear a little bit of our writing chant at home! The kids spent all week brainstorming, writing, editing, revising, and publishing their work. The final project will be a fun paper bag book. Keep your eye on your child's mail because those should be coming home on Monday or Tuesday! Right now our writing grades will be based on participation and completion of projects, but as we get into our next unit you will see a more detailed rubric coming home with your child's published writing pieces.
Our very special Matey of the Week will begin next week, so please come back and visit the blog to see who our special person of the week will be! When your child is Matey of the Week, you can find all of the information you need to know by clicking on the "Matey of the Week" tab at the top of this site.
