I sure hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas and two weeks with family and friends! Of course, the extra two cold days were a nice surprise. :)
January is here and we really start focusing on “acting and thinking like second graders.” The kids have loved talking about doing things in the classroom that second graders do. We are no longer writing on tablet paper. We have moved onto “second grade notebook paper.”
Mornings with Mom is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan 14 (last name A-L) 7:15 – 8:00 and Wednesday, Jan 15 (last name M-Z) 7:15-8:00. If your mom is not available please bring another adult! :)
On December 10 the students were given the STAR test in the computer lab. This test is just one indicator of how your child reads and comprehends. I use their score to determine their ZPD level, which is the level they are able to check out in the library. I will send the results home this week. Please keep these at home!
Reading ~ The story for this week is The Big Circle. Please make sure your child can fluently read the story sentences and isolated words in their take home folder for each story. Reading tests are taken on the computer every Friday.
Spelling ~ Please make sure your child can spell the twelve words for Week 4. Spelling tests are every Friday. Two of them will be counted as major language grades so this is very important.
Language ~ We will focus this week on proper nouns, days, months and special titles.
Math ~ Ch 7, Greater Than, Less Than and Comparing Numbers. Look for a review sheet to come home the night before the test.
Monday ~ Nancy’s Italian Ice $1.00
Tuesday ~ Report Cards/Signed Papers
Monday, Jan. 20 ~ No School, MLK/Lee Birthday
Please contact me with any questions or concerns! Have a great week ~ Kristin :)
