Hi Parents-
We've had a great first 3 days of school. The kiddos are working hard on beginning of year assignments, get to know you activities, and establishing routines of reading, writing and math. I'm going to try to both email and update my blog post with classroom details each week (usually on Thursdays- but I have things to remind about on Tuesday this week). Reminders/Announcements: 1) Tennis shoes for PE please! Here is our specials schedule: M- PE T- Art W- PE Th- Music F- Split (PE and art or music) 2)We still need "Work Room" parents for PTA support (helping make copies) for our classroom. Contact Mrs. Spalding at [email protected] if you are interested. 3) Look for Tuesday folders in today's backpack. If you haven't signed the "seesaw" permission slip, please look for that. 4) Please return the class t-shirt and scholastic news form with a check or cash. If you need financial assistance, just return the form and write, "need scholarship," and we will work something out. 5) Earbuds/Earphones- we occasionally use earbuds or earphones when using computers in the classroom. If you have an extra set around, it would be helpful to keep them in your child's backpack (in a labeled baggy). We will leave them in the backpack for safekeeping, and so they can also use them at home if needed. 6) Optional home learning extensions- If you sign the science journal, initial the daily behavior log, send back Tuesday or Friday folders, or help out with other activities that occasionally come home, students earn marbles for our class marble reward. We will be discussing other weekly home learning opportunities at the upcoming academic night on September 13. Calendar September 3- Labor Day (No school) September 13- 2nd Grade Academic Night October 5- Field Day Current/Upcoming Learning- Math- We are reviewing representing 2 digit numbers, analyzing numbers (comparing), and doing Data analysis (graphing). Language arts- We are establishing the reading and writing workshop, and building silent reading and independent writing stamina. Social Studies (imbedded during language arts)- We are establishing our classroom community (small group and whole group community building). Science- We are setting up our science journal and learning that our brains are always learning with "growth mindset" activities.
