Tomorrow is October 1, and you know what that means....Book it!! and reading folders! :)
Starting tomorrow, your child will begin bringing home a reading folder every night. They will switch their take home book each day so that they are bringing home a new book each night. Please take 15 minutes or so to sit and read with your child each night; this is so important to their 2nd grade reading success!!
In their folder will also be a calendar for you and them to track their reading times. Each student's goal is to read 15-20 minutes per night 4-5 nights per week. If they reach this goal in a month, they will receive a coupon from Pizza Hut for a FREE personal pan pizza. As your child colors in the days that they read, I ask that you would initial each box too.
Thank you for your continued support in your child's education!! We appreciate you!

Book It!
October also begins our Book It! Program with Pizza Hut. With this, we will begin taking home our reading folders. Please remember to read with your child each night and sign their calendar. If they reach their goal of 15-20 minutes of reading each night for 4-5 nights each week in a month, they will receive a coupon for a FREE personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut!!
Our Week Ahead
Thank You!!
We had a fantastic time at Klackle Orchards yesterday!!! The weather was beautiful and the students were able to get the full experience. They were able to pick their own apples and pumpkin, we learned how apples are grown, we also got to taste test the apples, fresh cider and fresh donuts!! What a great day! Thanks so much to all of the parents who were able to come along as well!
In Your Child's Folder Today:
In your child's folder today is quite a bit of mail! They have their October lunch menu, a baggie to label and bring in Box Tops in, and various other pieces for you to check out. The most important one is the stapled papers about concussions. There is a new state mandate that each child in our school has a concussion form signed in their permanent school file. Please take time to read this important information and warning signs. Please also be sure to sign the back of this form and send it back to school with your child on Monday. Thanks!
Next Week (September 30-October 4)
DIBELS - This week begins our DIBELS assessing for the elementary students. Please make sure that your child gets enough rest and a good breakfast each day! Also, please make sure that they are at school on time and ready to learn. Our school day starts at 8:03am. Thanks for your support!!
Johnny Appleseed Day - Even though Johnny's birthday was yesterday, September26, we're going to be celebrating it on Friday, October 4, with some fun apple activities. We will be rotating through the 4 2nd grade classrooms learning a little about Johnny and how he grew up, doing some activities, and having a fun snack! If there are any parents who are able to help for a couple hours, that would be great. We will be doing this from 9-11am, and I would like to have about 2-3 more parents to help. Please send me an email or leave me a voice mail (231-825-8330 x1574) if you are available.
Progress Reports - I cannot believe that next week Friday also marks the 1/2 way point in our first 9 weeks already! This year is going to go by way to quickly! That being said, your child's progress report for these first few weeks will be coming home with them on Friday in their folders.
Looking Ahead
Friday, October 4 - Johnny Appleseed Day
Thursday, October 17 - Family Reading/Math Night (more information to come)
Monday, October 21 - Delayed Start
Thursday, October 31 - Halloween Parade and Party
Friday, November 1 - No School

Book Order Reminder
Just a quick reminder that book orders were due today. It is my fault for not sending a physical note home as a reminder, so if you would still like to order, feel free to put in an online order yet this weekend. You may also send in an order yet on Monday. I will wait until Monday after school to send in the completed order. If you have questions about how to order online, please send me and email, and I will help you through it. Our classroom code is DWNVD.
Thanks!!

Back In The Swing of Things
We had a fantastic first week back last week!! We spent some time getting to know each other and our classroom. We also got ourselves organized for a fun and productive year in 2nd grade.
This week we are going to begin getting into a classroom routine. We have our first spelling list that will come home today. We are continuing to work through our first math lessons as well as our first reading unit.
Gym times have changed some, but the days remain the same. Please be sure that your child wears their tennis shoes on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Mileage Club will start up next week. Thank you to those of you who were able to volunteer. If you did not sign up on the night of the open house, and would still like to, please let me know. Mrs. Kelley is working hard to find enough volunteers to make this program a success again this year.
I will be working with the students this week to get our STAR binders put together. Each day they will be expected to take this to school and home from school. This has some reading, math, and spelling activity ideas for practice at home. There is also a class list and class information. They will be marking their calendar each day with the color that their clip was on for the day as well. Please be sure to put any important information for me in the pocket folder that will be in the back of the STAR binder. We will work hard to establish a routine so that the students are able to use their binders correctly on their own. Please ask them questions about it and help them to keep it organized at home too.
We will be having a field trip on Thursday, September 26 to Klackle Orchard. We are waiting for final approval from the administration, and when we receive that there will be more information to follow. i just wanted to give a heads up because some parents need as much time as possible to take a day off from work if you would like to come along.
Thanks for the love and support you show your children and our classroom! Please continue to support them in their education every day!!

Book Orders
I sent our first book orders for this school year home today!! I took a few minutes to browse through them with the students and point out some books and ways to choose books if they are able to purchase any. I would like to send in the order by September 30th because our classroom gets rewarded if we can meet that deadline. Please have these orders back to me or entered online by Friday, September 20.
If you are interested in ordering online our classroom you can go to the Scholastic Reading Club website: (https://clubs2.scholastic.com) and either sign in or sign up to create a free account. The code for our classroom is DWNVD, and you will need this to login and ensure that your child's order gets credited and delivered to our classroom. Also, there is a bonus to you and our classroom if you order online. When you order online you will receive a coupon for $5 to spend in the next book order!! Our classroom will also receive $3 to spend on books for our classroom library!

Please just send in the order with your payment (either cash or a check made payable to Scholastic) and I'll get it taken care of for you. Thanks for your help and support in your child's reading education!!
