Weekly Letter

Good afternoon,

The 2^nd grade has been very busy this week. We are the leaders for Courtyard Prayers and Mass. Our leaders for Monday Courtyard Prayer and Mass today did an excellent job being leaders.

We have also been busy making signs for the School Supplies Drive next week. Thank you to everyone who volunteered to stand with your children holding the signs advertising the drive. You help is greatly appreciated.

In religion, we discussed the God is Creator and made all things. In language, short vowels were reviewed, as well as subject and predicate. Students reviewed simple sentences and run-on sentences. The author’s purpose was the skill emphasized this week. In math, place value was reviewed. Students will begin taking basic facts quizzes this week. In science, we finished up the germs unit. We have begun the socials studies unit on communities.

Thank you for remembering to send in those water bottles. They are very good at hydrating and we do take frequent restroom breaks.

Don’t forget Monday is a holiday!

Pride Day is on Friday, September 9.

Happy Wednesday!

Karen Marshall

Courtyard prayer

2B does a great job ending courtyard prayer today! God is good!

Wednesday

Students were able to go to Mass today in the new church. Some need some practice with worship aides and kneeling on the kneelers. These are skills we will work on over the coming weeks. The church is lovely and it is so wonderful to be able to worship in it. In religion, we are learning about the Blessed Trinity.
In math, this week are reviewing place value, ones, tens, and hundreds. Students will also be writing numbers using words and expanded form.
In language, students read the story, "Henry and Mudge". We discussed story sequencing, describing words, subject and predicate, and short a and short i words with the CVC pattern.

Students are now eating lunch in the multi-purpose room in the air conditioning.
Please remember tennis shoes are white, socks are white, necklaces are simple, like a cross, and bows contain the school colors.
Be sure to send in water bottles! Students get hot during the day.

Monday

We are off to a running start. Students were able to write in their agendas and they have spelling words for the week and the first spelling test will be on Tuesday, August 23. Students are bringing home a weekly homework grid. This should be kept in their home folders for the week so it doesn't get lost. All activities and the grid should be returned on Fridays.
In math we reviewed place value and students used base ten blocks to review ones, tens and hundreds. In language we reviewed short a and i along with story sequence words. They read "Henry and Mudge". Tomorrow we will finish discussing the story.
In religion students reviewed the Holy Trinity. They were also able to eat lunch inside and will be doing so from now on! Yippee!!!

Thursday

What a great couple of days! Students have been well behaved and are working so hard. Today we went to Adoration for the first time this year and the students were fabulous! They earned a Responsible Christian Leader sticker. Ask them about it.
Reminder that school is dismissed at 12:20 tomorrow for grades Kinder-2nd.

Welcome

Welcome to 2B! We have so much fun planned this year. You are all so special to us and to God. I so am so blessed to be your teacher.
