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!!
Mrs. Rozeveld
