Peek at the Week!

Wow! It sure was an amazing back-to-school week! We had a lot of fun getting to know each other and learning the ropes of second grade. I hope everyone had a chance to play outside this weekend and take in the beautiful weather! 

Each week, I will post important information for the coming week. The Facebook page, blog, and email subscriptions are synced together to include the same content. If you enter your email to the right of this post, where it says "subscribe," you can have an email sent to you each time I update the blog. You can also "like" our Facebook page by clicking on the "F" above to be sent to Facebook. I will also send an email to remind you each week to check the blog for updates.

This week during Daily 5 and Writer's Worksop, we will discuss building stamina as a readers and writers. Second grade readers start to take off, growing like bean stalks! They start to read more books and for longer stretches. We will also learn about writing personal narratives as a second grader. We will build on what they already know about "watermelon seed" stories that they wrote in first grade. 

In math we will start by reviewing addition and subtraction concepts.

In social studies we will be talking about communities and the Leader in Me Seven Habits.

We wil go to the Concord Library every Monday. Tomorrow is the first day to go check out books! Please help your child remember to return their books every week. I will also remind them on Fridays.

Tomorrow we have P.E. Your child needs to wear tennis shoes or bring them to change into each time we have P.E. The block class schedule is on the right side of the blog. 

Please make sure the paperwork sent home at the ice-cream social (and through email) is return by the end of this week. Thank you!
