March 1-5

Welcome Parents!
March already? Friday concludes the 2nd trimester. We will be having our Unit 4 Reading Test on Monday and Tuesday as well as a Social Studies test on Thursday. Because of the unit test this week, we will not be having a spelling test. In Math, the students still need practice with subtraction, so any extra help at home is much appreciated!

February 22-26

Welcome Parents,

We can't believe it's already the last week of February! Where has the month gone? We have a regular schedule this week. We will still be working on subtraction in math. We will also be studying the vowel patterns -aw and -ough, and the consonants -gn, -wh, and -wr in reading.

Reminder:
Please make sure your child's first and last name is written on all personal belongings. There have been a lot of items, recently, turned into the "Lost and Found" with no names.

The 2nd trimester ends on Friday March 5th! All make-up tests and quizzes need to be complete before then.

Soup Night is Wednesday Feb. 24th!

February 15-20

Happy President's Day! We hope everyone enjoyed their long Valentine's Day weekend. This week is another fun week in 2nd grade! In math, we are still working on subtraction with regrouping. Our phonics this week focuses on the vowel pattern a, al, and au; our other concentration is silent consonants. In English, we are finishing our unit on adjectives and will take the Unit 4 test on Thursday. Lastly, our social studies lessons this week will be centered around President's Day.

Reminders:
Ash Wednesday is Wednesday Feb. 17th! Please arrive by 7:45 a.m. as we have an all school mass at 8 a.m. The first soup night will also be that night!

Feb 8-12

Welcome Parents!

We hope you enjoyed seeing our classroom at Open House last week. We enjoyed seeing you again and we hope you had an opportunity to view some of your child's work.

This week is regular schedule with the exception of Friday, February 12th. Since Valentine's Day falls on a weekend this year, we will be having our party on Friday Feb. 12th. If your child wishes to hand out valentines to the class, please make sure that you have one for every child in the class. We have 25 students. Your child may sign their name on the card, but please DO NOT address the cards. The students will be placing one valentine on each student's desk.

This week we will also be starting a new unit in math. We will be working on subtraction that involves regrouping or "borrowing" as it is also known. This is a new concept for the students and some may need extra help with their homework.

No School Monday Feb. 15th President's Day!
