OOPS! Good news... No spelling test next Tuesday after Labor Day, bad news no spelling words this week. The 2nd grade team decided to wait so we could explain on Curriculum Night. It just happens to be on Wednesday, Sept. 3 from 6-7 with 3 convenient 15 minute sessions to choose from. We even give 5 minutes travel time between sessions!
In math, students worked on counting by 1s, 10s, and 100s using base ten blocks. They practiced by completing pages in their workbooks.
In language, we started our first story by learning vocabulary and looking the words up in the glossary. Students also finished up a reading placement assessment. They also used whiteboards to review the short vowel sounds.
In religion, I read students the story called, "the Sunflower Parable". I also read them the story called, " the Brand New Kid" by Katie Couric. We talked about both stories.
Students went to PE and had Art, along with a fire drill. It was a busy day!

The beginning of the first full week of school was awesome! Students worked on beginning of the year assessments in reading and math. Tomorrow we will begin our first story and students will receive the first spelling words of the year.
The directions for the homework grid which was sent home today is as follows:
One activity should be done nightly. All four activities can be done on the same paper, so we save some trees. Grids may be completed early and turned in. All grids are due on Fridays.
Spelling tests will be given on Tuesdays and new spelling words will be given on that day. You may use either new words or ones from the week before for the grids. Spelling words will be in the agendas and on the website under homework.
There will be additional homework given during the week that will need to be turned in the next day.
A note: I will be out of town this Thursday and Friday for my daughter's wedding. Thank you for understanding.
