Happy Early Valentine's Day!

The Valentine's Day party will be on Friday, February 14 at 1:30 p.m.  Please make sure your child brings in a valentine for every child in the class so there are no hurt feelings.   A class list already was sent home.  Please have your child write who the card goes to on the outside envelope. We have 20 total students.   Please have the children be festive and wear red or pink on Wednesday, February 14. 

We had fun celebrating the 100th day of school.  We wrote if we were 100 years old and what our life would be like.  We even had our pictures taken if we were 100 years old.  They were really funny!  As a class we came up with 100 kind words that we hope you are hearing at home!  We had fun doing some 100 day math activities! We cannot believe that we are over halfway done with 2nd grade.

We worked with "ay" "ai" and "a_e" long "a" vowel combinations.  We learned that when two vowels are together we call that syllable a "D" syllable -Double vowel.  We also learned that usually the first vowel will do the talking.  Thank you for your support at home with the Fundations homework and spelling practice.

We have been working with number story problems and using diagrams to organize the problems.  Please continue to spend 10-15 minutes to practice addition and subtraction facts.  

We have been reading stories about the weather and how the weather affects us.  This week have experienced just about every weather- sun,rain, sleet, ice,and snow.  

Please make sure your child has boots and a change of shoes during this season.  The playground can get very muddy!  Please make sure your child has shoes to wear so they can participate in gym and walk around the classroom and building.  We would suggest putting a plastic bag inside the boots to remind your child to make sure shoes are in the backpack.  We will try to be outside so please make sure your child is dressed for the weather!
