Important Announcements:
*Congratulations to
Riley! Riley has leveled up to the next
level on the Super Improvers Wall in the classroom. I have several students who are SO close to
leveling up. Students earn stars for
showing improvements in academics and behavior.
Once ten stars are earned, he/she levels up. Way to go, Riley!
*Second nine weeks has
officially ended, and we have had a great week!
The school earned the behavior reward and our reward was a special guest
today – Boomer! The kids had a
blast! We ended the day with a holiday
tradition – Delaware Trail’s annual sing along.
It was such a great day! We have
all been working hard, and it is time for two weeks off. I hope that everyone has a very Merry
Christmas, and I am looking forward to us accomplishing great things together
in 2015!
*Report cards will be
available online starting Friday, January 9, 2015.
*Earlier this week I sent
home the reading calendar to be completed over vacation. If your child participates and returns it to
school after Christmas Break, he/she will be invited to a special movie and
popcorn party. I will attach an extra
copy of the calendar to this e-mail in case you didn’t get one. Happy Reading!
*Second grade teachers have
set the deadline of all second graders having 100% mastery on addition math
facts by the end of January. After that,
we will focus our attention on subtraction math facts. You will notice that
math facts practice will start being assigned as homework after we return from
Christmas Break. Addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division flashcards would make perfect stocking
stuffers!
*Continue to work on addition
and subtraction math facts. Make sure to
use those fact triangles that were sent home, or you can practice for free
online at www.xtramath.org. I sent the log in
information home with your child and these two weeks off would be a great time
to practice!
*If anyone is able to come in
and volunteer after break, send me an e-mail and let me know what day and time
works best for you! Thanks!
*I believe in building relationships with the children both
inside my classroom and outside the classroom.
If your child participates in any extracurricular activities (sports,
dance, theater, etc.), or has any other events that he/she would like to invite
me to, please let me know, and I will do my best to come!
*The blog will also be updated with this information as well
