Happy Sunday 2B families! I hope you all were able to enjoy the weekend and get some much needed rest.
We had a great start to our new quarter. Students have stepped it up and taken on the challenge of second quarter. As a class we discussed the importance of leaving the classroom and entering the classroom prepared for class. I've challenged students to check their back packs the night before to make sure that everything is in their homework folders and that their folders are in their back packs. It is their responsibility. are in their back packs.
We still had two name papers in the no name basket. Our aides and I will not be telling specific students to check the basket. I will continue to make note on RenWeb if your child has a possible no name assignment in the basket. Students know that they can check the basket throughout the day.
We began to research saints this last week in Religion class. Students will complete their research this week and transfer their information onto a saint poster.
This week our second graders will be assigned their first book talk report. Students will receive their information packet on Tuesday and book titles are due for approval by this Friday. The final project is due November 14. The packet will include numerous project ideas for students to choose from.
This week our Mad Minute quizzes will drop down to two minutes. We will continue to take the two minute challenge for the next two months, with one minute completion being our January goal. I am proud of all my students who have all shown improvement in their fact fluency. Please make sure they are practicing nightly.
Students will have their weekly reading and spelling tests this Tuesday.
We move onto our final system focus in Science. This week we will focus on the skeletal system. Students will learn about different bones in the human body and why they are important to our survival.
I hope you have all marked your calendars for this Friday's Harvest Festival. The fun is scheduled to being at 6pm. We hope to see you and your families there. A special congratulations goes out to Layla Molitor and Remy Romano for being our 2B winners in this year's pumpkin decorating contest. You will see their pumpkins, as well as the other winners' on display at the Harvest Festival. Congratulations you two!
Fall Conferences are just around the corner. The are schedule for the week of November 5-9. I hope you all received my invitation via email for sign ups. Please make sure to sign up for a time. If there happens to be a time conflict, please email me and we will find a time that works for both of us. The following is the Sign Up Genius link to use: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0c48adac2aa7f85-fall2.
Please make sure your child is using 2nd grade level lined paper to complete their homework. I continue to stress the importance of putting in effort into all their work by using the lines on the paper, writing their names, numbers and date neatly and legibly. I would like students to use lined paper that was sent home. I have a large supply in the classroom, if needed. Homework that is turned in messy will result in loss of points.
I thank you for your continued support this school year and helping your child to be their best in their work, their actions and in their words.
God bless,
Mrs. Johnson
