Room 801 Updates

As February comes to a close, I wanted to touch base with a few updates.

Conferences are in a couple of weeks! The sign-up is live. If you haven’t already, please sign-up here. I look forward to meeting with you.

Our bus tour of Hudsonville is tomorrow! Please be sure to have your 2nd grader to school on time, so they don’t miss the bus.

We are busy learning all about 2 digit subtraction with and without regrouping. This is when the math facts we have been practicing are so important. Keep practicing math facts at home, whenever it pops into your head. Quizzing in the car, at the dentist, and everywhere in between is super helpful.

We have reached our books read goal of 1,300! And, we are approaching the 4,000,000 words read mark toward our 5,200,000 words read goal. The kids are SO PROUD OF THEMSELVES. They are intrinsically motivated to reach their goal. If you could give them a shout out at home, I am certain you would see a smile and confidence come across their face.

Thank you for sharing your kids with me. They are a joy!

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out.

SOAR Party

 

This fabulous class has earned another SOAR party! After a close vote, fort day won the coveted spot. So, this Friday, we will have a fort day. Students may bring ONE blanket in to help build their fort. We will be building open wall forts, so only one blanket is needed.

2nd Grade Update

I hope you all had a restful winter break! We are back at it here at school, and are hopeful for some snow to coat the playground.

Valentine’s Day is coming up. A class list was sent home on Friday. We have 25 students in our class. Please be sure to include a valentine for each student. Our party will be on February 14th from 1-2.

Today is World Read Aloud Day. Check our facebook page all day long for fun read alouds!

We are getting closer to our Reading Goal! We have read 3,307,102 words and 1,266 books! The kids are so proud of themselves. If you think of it ask your child how many points they have.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
