Dear Second Grade Families,
We have a busy week ahead. On Wednesday, we have Free Dress and $1.00 per tattoo. Please read the school newsletter which will provide dress attire for Wednesday and additional information on tattoos. We will attend Mass at 8;30 a.m. on Thursday as it is All Saints day! Finally, we have our Saint’s Parade on Friday beginning at 8:30a.m. I hope all of you have the opportunity to attend our Saint’s parade especially since it is the students last year to be a saint. Remember to have a dress rehearsal at home with your child’s saint costume before Friday. They must be able to walk and kneel with their costumes.
This is our academic overview for this week.
Homework: We will not have new spelling words this week. Please have your child review units 1-9 on spellingcity.com .
This week we will ONLY have our weekly Reading Log and Fluency Reading with no ad
ditional homework pages. I want your child to practice their saint report at home daily. Your child should be able to recite their report with ease.
