Weekly Update October 29th

-

Hello Wonderful Families, I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!  Just a few updates for the week:

A new Poem for the month of November will be coming home on Monday.  Students will be sharing their poems the week of November 26th.

AR Progress:  The last day for students to take AR quizzes this trimester is Friday, November 2nd.  If your student has not made their goal yet, please continue to make sure that they are reading at least 20 minutes every single night.

Our class was recognized at last week’s ROAR Rally for earning more AR points for the month of October than any other 2nd grade class!  We received a trophy that is on display in our classroom for the next month!  Kiddos will also be rewarded with some extra recess time this coming week!

This Wednesday is Halloween, but please remember that costumes are not allowed at school.  We will be having pajama day instead.  Any student not wearing pajamas is still expected to follow our Dress for Success dress code policy.

We will be spending our day Wednesday doing some fun Halloween themed math and writing centers.

The end of the trimester is here so we will be doing lots of assessments this week.  Because of this, there will be no homework this week.  Let your kiddos rest their brains and enjoy their time at home!

A new sign up for November volunteers will go out on Parent Square on Monday afternoon.  Because there is no homework this week, I will not need my homework checkers to come in this week.

This week in Math:
Topic 6: Subtract within 100
           Use addition to check subtraction
           Practice subtraction
           Solve 1 and 2 step problems
      Reasoning

This week in Language Arts:
Reading: Point of view, comprehension assessments
Grammar: No grammar due to assessments
Spelling: No spelling due to assessments
Vocabulary: No vocabulary due to assessments
·    

Writing: Personal Narrative –  editing and publishing

This week in Leadership and Science:
Leadership: ROAR Characteristics  O: Own your actions

Homework: No homework this week.  Reading is always encouraged, but is not mandatory this week.  Students that complete their reading log for the week will receive a SWAG tag!


Looking forward to another great week!
Alison
