Today we finished up the ITBS testing and the Dibels assessment. We should be back to normal next week.
I have attached the link for the school supplies drive video of the 2nd grade.

Wednesday

Congratulations to 2B for completing 10,000 problems on IXL.com! Keep up the great work!

Wednesdays are spent at Mass, music, PE and then Atrium. In between, time was spent working on ITBS listening and language sections. After lunch students corrected their math tests from Monday.
Tomorrow the math sections will be completed. Students are pretty tired after testing so we have kept the week light. Homework is very light and fun!

Tuesday

Just a reminder that because of the ITBS testing this week there will not be a language grid or any spelling words. As a result, there will not be a spelling test next Tuesday!

Today was the beginning of the ITBS testing. We were able to complete the vocabulary, word analysis and reading sections of the test. Tomorrow will be the listening and language sections.

Students also took their spelling test, and other weekly assessments.
In math, we reviewed subtraction. Then we reviewed using addition to check subtraction.They seem to be enjoying writing in their math journals.

Happy Tuesday!

Wednesday

Today was a very busy day! Students were able to sit with their buddies.
When they returned, they listened to our new story about a deaf girl who is like all other girls except she uses sign language. In math, students regrouped from tens to hundreds.
They had music, PE, and Atrium. See we were really busy!

Tuesday

All went well for picture day. Everyone stayed neat and tidy.
In math, students did a great job regrouping in addition. It is homework tonight.
In language, students completed the weekly assessments, including the spelling and dictation tests. Students also worked in the ITBS practice test booklets.
In religion, we began discussing Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
It looks like we are drying out from all the rain last night. Not too many students made it into water or puddles. Phew!

Monday

Tomorrow is picture day. Please wear your uniforms.
Please note: Students should be completing at 10 minutes a night of IXL.com math and at least 10 minutes of Raz Kids in addition to other books. I do get weekly reports from IXL and I assign 10 points for students who have worked on IXL. I will be assigning points for Raz Kids, too.

Students were busy working on different centers and review activities during language as the Dibels were being assessed.
In math, students learned and practiced regrouping in addition. You can expect some addition regrouping for homework.
Today was an Atrium day and we also went to Adoration.
Students should remember to have their agendas at school everyday, especially on Mondays.

As You Wish letter

A letter from AS YOU Wish...


Good morning parents,

Thank you for registering your children for our Fall Session of As You Wish After-School Enrichment classes. We have so many exciting projects planned, and we can't wait to begin!

We have always reached our minimum number of registered students to hold our class, but this year we are extremely shy of that number. We currently have four students enrolled, and unless we can raise that number to ten, we will have to cancel our session.

Please help us out by telling your friends, other moms, other dads, tell everybody!!!

I can wait until midnight on Tuesday, and then I will be in touch with Mrs. Miller first thing on Wednesday morning. If we need to cancel class, please be prepared to make other arrangements for your children. The "Grilled Cheese" plates that were painted in our first class will be delivered to the school for you to pick up on Wednesday if class is cancelled.

Full refunds may be requested through the school.

Thank you again for your ongoing support. I do hope to see all of your children (plus a few new additions) in class next Wednesday! All newly enrolled students will be given the missed assignment to paint at their convenience.

Creatively yours,

Thea Schaeffer
