Parent University R.S.V.P. letter- PLEASE send in tomorrow if you are able
to attend. I passed out the flyer at conferences. It is going to be a
beneficial night as we set up your child with RAZ kids at home. They had a
chance to try the program in class this week and LOVED it! Reading at home can be lots of fun for them
as well.
·
I apologize for the lack of blogging with
conferences. I am back in the routine and look forward to our updates and
information.
·
Our class field trip was great! Take a look at
the pictures posted below.
·
We are continuing to show enthusiasm, as we
participate with anxious hands, show interest in our subjects, and go above
and beyond to share creative thoughts!
·
We watched a mini-series with our class dojo,
Mojo on empathy. I would really appreciate the follow up at home. We are
becoming comfortable with each other (which I love) but that also comes with
the ability to express thoughts. We talk about show empathy with our friends as
we are considerate of our words, actions, and perceptions of others.
·
We will be attending a very special field trip
to the Double Tree hotel on November 9th. One of our second grade parents was able to
nominate and select us for a tour and lunch hosted and funded by the hotel. I
will be looking for a few parents, when the permission slips are sent out and
you would like to attend, complete the chaperone slip as well. (Permission
slips to be sent home next week)

Literature

sequencing, inferencing, and problem solution.
Math
I will give a mid-module assessment to check for
understanding with base ten. We have had the chance to pull apart numbers and
show them in various ways. We have also been working hard on unit form counting
and using 1s, 10s, and 100s to count up.
Science
We will be starting with our next state of matter: liquids!
We have the coolest science kits that allow for lots of exploration and
experimentation.
Social Studies
We are jumping right in to our election unit! Reading about
the history of voting, campaign propaganda, and the 2016 candidates. It is
important that we practice truthful, respectful, and kind conversations. It is
great that we live in a country that allows us to express our thoughts, but we
also need to be respectful of all ideas, even if we may think differently.
Thanks for your continued support! I love when I see
comments, messages, and likes on our class dojo!
