We are looking forward to sending our Flat Students off to their host this week. We have primary centers & minimum day on Friday, October 12th . Please contact Mrs. Rzasa if you would like to volunteer for our Primary Center on Friday.
Here is a look at our week:
Homework: Homework & 2nd Grade 1st trimester Reading Log-1, Spelling: I will continue sending Reading Fluency in their homework folder. The children have shown so much growth through the week with the first reading fluency practice. Thank you for taking the 1 minute to listen to your child read.

LANGUAGE ARTS: Spelling Unit 7 is consonant clusters (e.g. sp, xt, sl). We will begin the story, Exploring Parks with Ranger Dockett. Our focus strategy is evaluate how the author helps you understand what ranger do. Phonics will inclue the two sounds for c (/k/ and/s/) and reviewing long vowels with the silent e. The comprehension skill will be fact or opinion.
MATH: Problem solving (story problems); adding and subtracting practice; Continue helping your child with math facts as well as to tell time on an analog clock and count money. These are valuable life skills.
