Pumpkin Painting, PJs, and New T-Shirts

What a fun and productive week we've had in 2nd grade!  Check out what we did:

• Math: We took our test on unit 1 on Monday.  You should have gotten the test back with a progress report noting how your child has scored on all math quizzes and tests so far.  I am so proud of our hard work on unit 1!  We have started a unit on place value and will be working on 2-digit addition this week.
• Social Studies: So far in our Government unit, we have talked about why people form governments, diversity in communities, individual rights, and common good.
• Writing: We have been working hard on editing our Small Moment stories.  We will continue to edit this week, every child will conference with me, and then we will start our final drafts.
• Reading:  Students have been working with their partners by celebrating with them, helping each other, and recommending books to each other.  Next week, we will continue to work with our partners and will review strategies for solving problems while reading.

Spelling words:  like, him, see, time, could

Homework:  A math paper on place value went home with students on Friday in their purple homework folders.

Book It!: Don't forget to keep filling in those October charts.  Reading 20 minutes a day and turning in the chart at the end of the month will earn your reader a personal pizza certificate.  

We had a fun time on Friday wearing our pajamas and "Be the One" t-shirts.  You may have noticed that our t-shirts ended up being blue instead of purple.  The company who printed the shirts ran out of purple, so we have blue instead.  

Mrs. Higgs' class did a great job of hosting our class for our Can Drive Party on Friday.  Students were able to paint pumpkins with a 5th grade buddy and enjoy a snack afterward.  Both 5th and 2nd grade students had a great time.

Our classroom Halloween Party is on Thursday, October 30th at 2:30.  If you signed up to bring something for our Halloween Party, please check your child's take-home folder on Monday.  I will be sending home a reminder.  I could also use 2 more parents to help out with the party.  If you are available and have filled out a volunteer form,  please contact me.
