Good Afternoon Boys and Girls,
We are going to have another great week in second grade! We are nearing the end of September, our first full month together. I have already seen you show your knowledge and you are doing great.
Please take some time each night to practice for our Ice Cream Math. This will be our last week of in class practice. (Mom and Dad, one of the first 2nd grade standards we have been working on in class is memorizing the addition facts from 0-20. The students have been completing "Ice Cream Math" in which they have one minutes to complete 30 addition problems. Each time they complete one page in the allotted time, they can move up to the next number. We have made flashcards in class to practice and they have been asked to practice this at home as well.)
This month I have been looking for TWO students who have shown RESPONSIBILITY and CREATIVE THINKING as our Students of the Month for second grade. Have you let Mrs. Wall know through your actions at school that YOU are that person? I hope so! (Parents, you are all welcome to join us on Friday morning for this school wide assembly to celebrate the accomplishments of our students. 8:10 in the Community Center)
If you went to St. Lawrence in first grade, you can work at www.mathletics.com with your ID and password from last year. (Mom and Dad, unfortunately I am still waiting to get our new Mathletics information from our Math coordinator at school. I apologize sincerely for the delay. Once I gain access to our second graders accounts I will be updating them with appropriate and hopefully challenging work for the students to work on. Thank you again for your patience.)
We will be celebrating our September ABC Superstars on Friday afternoon. Great work this month boys and girls!
Your Teacher,
Mrs. Wall
PS-Parents, homework will continue to be sent home on Mondays and needs to be returned on Friday morning. Please take time each night to see that your student has completed their work in its entirety and you have signed the front page once it is complete. Finally, as part of our speaking standards for 2nd grade, the students are being assessed on Thursdays of their knowledge of the poem that is sent home each Monday afternoon. So far they have all done pretty well. =)

Good Evening Boys and Girls,
Thank you for an AMAZING day in second grade today! It was so great to see you being such good listeners and so responsible. Way to go! Don't forget to finish your homework packet tonight and have Mom or Dad sign it so you can bring it to school tomorrow. Keep reading on www.raz-kids.com every night. You can use your Raz-Kids books to complete your HRL or you can read another book if you want.
Thank you,
Mrs. Wall
P.S. Mom and Dad, please talk with your child about their classroom job. There are a few jobs that require students to be in the classroom before or after school each day. They will need your help to get to school early each morning or your patience to wait a couple minutes after school each day. Thank you!

Hi Boys and Girls,
Great work on our testing today! You have been doing a fantastic job by showing what you know. Tomorrow we will be working on the test after lunch. Please bring a healthy lunch tomorrow or think about choosing healthy things if you are getting lunch at school.
Good start this week on your HRL. Remember to write your sentences on the front of the page. The back just tells you how to begin your writing each night. Please keep your HRL in your Take Home folder and bring it to school everyday.
Get your minds and hearts ready for Mass in the morning. Think about who you would like to pray for during this time. Did your family know about the Apostles? See you in the morning.
Love.
Mrs. Wall

Good Morning Boys and Girls,
This week we have our ITBS Testing at school. That means you need to go to be early and eat a SUPER breakfast every morning. At school we will work on a test everyday. The test will be about reading, writing, spelling, listening, math, science, and social studies. The most important thing about your test is that YOU do your BEST each time we are working. You need to show me what you know about these things by answering the questions. I know you will do great!
Your first HRL (Home Reading Log) is due tomorrow. Please make sure you are writing on the front side of the paper. You need to write the title of your book, the minutes you read, and the sentence from the back. After you have done that each day, ask Mom or Dad to sign it.
We are going to the library tomorrow. Please bring your library book. See you all in the morning!
Thank you,
Mrs. Wall
P.S. Please bring WATER to drink during the test each day this week.

Homework Packets and HRL
Dear Boys and Girls,
This one is for Mom and Dad too! Please ask them to read it with you and answer any questions you have.
Thank you,
Mrs. Wall =)

Dear Second Grade Families,
Today is the first official day of homework! It was great to
see so many of our students already adding www.raz-kids.com
to their daily routines last week. Mathletics is coming soon. I will keep
you posted as soon as I know more. Today your student received their
first homework packet. Packets are always due on FRIDAY. The
students should complete one page each night according to the schedule on the
cover page. Please remind your student to write their name on the line
that says, " I, __________, completed my homework the best I know
how." AFTER all pages are complete. Please sign the bottom as well,
AFTER all work is complete.
The students were asked today to ALWAYS keep this packet in
their Take Home Folder so it comes back to school with them every day.
Students are welcome to turn homework in early on Thursday, but not before. All
of the work in the packets will be about things the students have already
learned in class. Homework is used as a tool for responsibility and
recall of learning that has already occurred. The only not-written work
is the poetry. Please work with your child to memorize this poem.
In addition to the homework packets, the students received
their first HRL (Home Reading Log). This should stay in their Take Home
Folder at all times as well. The students will answer the question on the
back of the page after reading for 20+ minutes (at www.raz-kids.com or a "real"
book). They should copy the sentence prompt that is written for them onto
the front of the page. (i.e. Today they will write, "Some interesting
details are________.") We will be learning more about this in class each
day. Please sign your initials AFTER your student has completed their reading
and writing about their book.
Thank you for your support with this homework and continued
guidance towards independence and responsibility.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Wall
