Week 3

Welcome to week #3.  Thankfully it's a lot cooler this week, which makes it much more pleasant in the building!  This week, we took our first science test on living and nonliving things.  I'm very pleased that almost everyone brought back their study guides signed.  Every time we take a science or social studies test, I'll send home a study guide for the students to use to help them study.  If the parents sign it and the students return it to school by the test day, they'll receive 2 bonus points on their test.  I'm very pleased at how well everyone did...way to be Super 2nd Grade Studiers! We also typed our first stories for the year.  We'll be doing a lot of writing this year and typing too, so they more we do it, the easier it'll get for the students.  We've also been talking a lot about V-E words (vowel, consonant, silent e) for example: make, bake, rake, etc.  There are several V-E words on our spelling test this week.  In grammar, we are working on writing complete sentences and talking about subjects and predicates.  In math, we learned two new vocabulary words:  sum and addends.  The students are also working on their addition facts.  Keep practicing those flash cards!!
