Report Cards: Report cards came home with your child this week. If you have not already done so, please sign and return the envelope to school, so I know you have received it. Thank you for taking the time to see how your child is progressing in second grade.
FAST Testing: We have finished FAST testing. I look forward to sharing your child's results with you during conferences on February 19th & 20th.
AR: We had some exciting news to celebrate! Our whole class met their goal for 2nd quarter!! We celebrated on Friday afternoon by having some extra recess time. For 3rd quarter, your child's goal is to get 5 points. We will start this transition of using points for the last half of the school year, as this is what grades 3-6 use. Most books are either 0.5 or 1 point. Remember your child can take tests on books from home. Simply click on the AR tab at the top, click on the button, and type in the book title to see if it is in the AR system.
Carnival Basket- Arts & Crafts
Each classroom will be putting together class baskets that will be put up for bids on the silent auction at the school carnival. Each student is asked to send an item to school for our basket. This year our basket will be Arts & Crafts themed. Some suggestions might be coloring books, coloring utensils, craft kits, paints, etc. Instead of bringing in an item, you can send in a cash donation of $5-$10 and we'll have a shopper purchase items. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thanks for your continuing to support our Catholic school.
Math: Students played a matching game called Clock Concentration, in which they match a digital clock to an analog clock.
Reading: This week we read an informational text called The Abenaki. Informational texts give real facts about a topic. Students learned that there are three reasons why an author writes a story- to persuade, inform, or entertain.
Writing: This week students created acrostic poems.
Social Studies: Students learned that government services help citizens in a community. Some of these services include the police and fire departments.
Religion: We talked about how the Holy Spirit is always with us. In the morning we can pray to the Holy Spirit to help us throughout the day. Before we go to bed we can thank the Holy Spirit for the many blessings in our life.
