Weekly update for the week of August 29th

-Thank you families for attending the open house this past Wednesday! I know the work week can fill quickly but appreciate your time. Any chance to get you in the classroom to share about our awesome learning experiences is special.
-Important Dates:
            September 5th- No School, Labor day
-Thanks for the positive feedback on our ClassDojo system, students, parents, and myself seem to enjoy the program!
-Just a reminder that we are showing responsibility this month. Each and every day we talk about how responsible people and students are honest, follow rules, practice self-control, and always try their best.  Next week I will be awarding one student from class that has continuously shown responsibility.
-I am enjoying having each and every child in our class! Together we discuss and share amazing ideas, learn to appreciate differences, and show compassion to our friends. Together we are growing happy and helpful citizens!

A look at next week:
Literature
Onto our next story as we read “Get Up and Go!”.  We will be working on Author’s Purpose, vocabulary, and setting as we read throughout the week. I am so impressed with the participation and teamwork from the kiddos as we partner and popcorn read our story during the week. Keep up the good work! As a grade level we will also start with Flex reading time, there will be a half hour reading block time when all students will be moving to another second grade classroom to get leveled reading instruction. I love this time of the day, it is such a great opportunity to give every child something specific and helpful to him/her.

Math
We will be wrapping up module 1, adding and subtracting within 100. I will also send home a helpful parent newsletter about the math skills in module 1. I plan on sending one home for our next unit at the start, it is a great resource I just stumbled upon. I am planning on giving our math assessment on Tuesday or Wednesday! Good luck students, we have been working hard and I hope to see much success come testing time.

Science
Our mini science experiment will take place on Monday, the second half of the week got away from us. We will be working through the scientific method as we conduct our experiment. We will also spend some much needed time outdoors as we take the time to learn about the rules and expectations as we often observe and work outside.  I look forward to bringing the kids outside to learn!


Have a great weekend!
