Monday, September 26th

NEWS: Thank you for all of your early donations for our Winter Warmth Service Project today! We have almost met our classroom goal already! We will be presenting again on Friday, October 7th.  If you did not get to participate today, either by bringing something warm for Emily, or speaking, you will get a chance at some point throughout the month of October.  I already have the list of people who told me they would like a speaking part.  Please let me know if you have changed your mind about speaking at the Morning Assembly.

Donations for our Winter Warmth Service Project can be brought to school on Tuesday mornings, starting in October.  If you would like to wait and bring yours for our next presentation, that is okay too.

We started Guided Reading and Literacy Centers today! Hooray!! It was a great first day for our second graders! Congratulations on a job well done students! Parents, are you wondering what this is? Ask your student about what they did today during "Literacy Centers" time. Which teacher did they meet with? What books are they reading?

HOMEWORK: Complete your Home Reading Log tonight by reading for 20 minutes (or more) and writing a sentence about your book.  The sentence you should write is on the back of your page.  Please look at last week's HRL that is stapled to your new one. Keep them together as I want to see that you did not make the same mistakes again this this week (if you made mistakes).  Great work second graders on your first week of HRL!!!

Math-Complete the following problems in your Math Notebook.  Please show your work! You have the four examples we did in class together already complete.  (Some students may not have homework because they finished in class.) Write all problems up and down (vertical).
