Looking ahead.....

There will be a new reading log form after Easter break.... we are switching up the starting sentences.  When I have it available, after Easter,  I will post it on the Printable link.  I will also have a schedule posted with due dates. To reiterate; there is a new Reading Response Log form - The old form will not be accepted during the last quarter. 

Happy, Happy Easter to you and your families.

Our first weekend of spring!  I guess the weather was better than in winter... I'd still like it a bit warmer... maybe just less wind. 

I have a request...

We have a little more than 1 quarter left in 2nd grade... can you believe it!

We are running out of tissues and wipes.  I would appreciate any donation you could make.

Good afternoon, 

It was so great to see all those smiling faces this morning!

Just putting it out there again.... Sister Marie's Communion Parent Meeting is tonight at 7:15. 

We started our new Reader and Workbook today.  With the new books come some new routines.  I've also given a few updates on other topics.... 

1. The spelling quizzes will consist of only the 12 memory words. 
2. Your child should practice reading the pattern words each week, several times.  These words will show up on dictation quizzes.  
3. The memory words should be written 5 times, neatly in your daily routine notebook.  We set up the page today, please refer to those guidelines when doing homework.  This, along with a "Backpack" homework page is due on Wednesday.  
4. Your child also came home with a reading passage.  Please practice this same passage each night this week.  We are working on building fluency.  I suggested to the students that they keep a folder of the fluency story and the pattern words so that they can practice throughout the remainder of the school year.  
5.  There is a test on Wednesday on the book, Good Night, Good Knight.  We read that in class last week.  I've attached a PDF copy on the English/Language Arts link of my web-page.  I also sent home a study sheet with the vocabulary we practiced last week and some other notes to help prepare for the test.  
6. We will go to church on Wednesday for Ashes.  We have started to read about Lent in our Religion book. 
7. If all goes as I planned.... there will be a math assessment on Friday covering lessons 12 - 16. 
8. We finished up investigation 3 in science today in our Sound unit.  I would like to give a test on this investigation before moving on to investigation 4.  If we have the test on Monday we can begin investigation 4 on Tuesday. I will send home the book this week so that you can begin to review for the assessment on Monday.  Start with the vocabulary, be able to distinguish between strong vibrations and weak vibrations and the type of sounds they make and be able to write a conclusion about vibrations and the volume of sound. They will also be asked to draw a scale - like in the book, to distinguish among the 4 sounds on a soft - loud scale. 
9. We are working on being more independent and responsible and not relying on my web-page or mom as much.  Please know that I am always here as a back up; I'm just stretching them...  Our little birdies must start to flutter and fly on their own a bit! 

Ahhh... I think that is all...

GBWY, always!
