Monday, November 28th

NEWS: Welcome back to school and the start of our 2nd trimester in 2nd grade! Thank you to everyone who returned their signed report card envelope.  I hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing break.

Today was the first day of our 2nd trimester.  In second grade that means bigger responsibilities and higher expectations.  As a second grade student you are expected to read, listen to and take one quiz every night at www.raz-kids.com.  You are also expected to visit www.mathletics.com every night and play Live Mathletics or complete one of the lessons we have been working on in class.

We are beginning our Reconciliation preparation in class.  Per the schedule that was sent home with your Sacraments packet, the first At Home Family activity will be sent home next week Friday.  As a family you need to complete these activities over the weekend and return them completed on Mondays if you are planning on receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Per your parent requests, Mrs. Wall will be sending home class work and homework more often.  Each Wednesday, you will be taking home some work that you have completed.  You need to show this work to Mom and Dad and tell them what it was and what you needed to do.  What did you think about it? Did you like it? Was is challenging? Talk about each piece of work that is sent home so you (and Mom and Dad) better understand what you are learning in class.

HOMEWORK:
1. www.raz-kids.com
2. www.mathletics.com
3. Complete your Christmas Cactus if you did not already in class.  Remember: do NOT color the flowers yet.
4. HRL-During the 2nd trimester our HRL will be GREEN.  Your responses should be longer and more detailed, answering the new questions we talked about in class today.  Keep your HRL in your Take Home Folder all week so we can see the progress you are making throughout the week.
