Hello parents/guardians,
On Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday next week (August 26, 27, and 29), our class will be completing the MAP test in Reading, Language, and Math. As we all know, school attendance is important, especially on these upcoming MAP testing days, so please make every effort to have your child in attendance on these days. Also, the students will be taking the test during the morning hours of the school day. So, if possible, please be sure they have had a hearty breakfast and, if possible, send them in with a snack to nourish their brains when we take a break for recess. This will ensure the students are prepared with plenty of stamina to complete the entire test. Week of August 19-23

I was so happy to meet those of you who were able to attend the orientation on Tuesday! It was truly a pleasure! I am so excited for a fabulous year and thankful for the wonderful children we get to teach every day! Seeing them getting familiar with the rules and procedures in their new classroom is amazing. We have begun to work on the group rotation (centers/stations) rules and procedures this week. So far we have practiced "Read to Self". Next coming two weeks we will add “Read to Someone,” "Work on Writing,” and Word Work" to our practiced rotations. Our Social Studies theme this month is Citizenship. In Science, we will introduce Space. In Math, we will begin math rotations during our math block. This week, our rotations and activities will focus on Number Sense and Place Value. In addition, we will begin sending home the daily folder which will contain the homework for the week. As discussed, there will be an ELA packet (Family Times), spelling words, a math spiral review sheet, and a reading log. Reminders Attraction Books TMSA's Attraction books were sent home with your child today. The cost of the book is $20.00. Please return the book on Monday if you do not wish to purchase it. If you would like to purchase the book, simply send in the $20.00 in the envelope. Pop Tab Fundraiser The HOSA club is hosting a school-wide fundraiser where we are collecting pop tabs again. The Ronald McDonald House is an organization that collects donations in various forms to fund research for cures for childhood cancer, houses for parents to stay in so they can stay near their children, and for the treatment of children who are suffering from cancer. One of those forms of donations is pop tabs. *The class with the most pop tabs collected gets a pizza party! Thank you for signing and returning the forms that were sent home. Dear Parents,
Welcome to an exciting and fun year in the second grade! This is going to be a year full of amazing opportunities and challenges. Students learn to read advanced books, perfect math skills, become amazing authors, exceptional explorers, and super scientists. We will be taking our MAP test in class this week. I am excited to see the growth that your child makes on this growth test. If you have any questions or concerns about the MAP test, please let me know!
May 1&2- MAP Testing Revision Week!
(April 8-12)
This week we are learning; ELA: Story: Carl the Complainer Comprehension: Cause and Effect Strategy; Visualize Phonic Awareness: Prefixes un-, re-, pre-, dis- Vocabulary;Dictionary Skills: Dictionary/Glossary Conventions: Singular and Plural Nouns Writing: Realistic Fiction Social Studies:Conservation/ Earth Day/ 3 R's 2.G.2 Understand the effects of humans interacting with their environment. 2.G.2.2 Explain how people positively and negatively affect the environment. The student will understand:
For example: negative transformation: polluting lakes, streams, etc.
Math: Money
2.P.1 Understand the relationship between sound and vibrating objects. 2. P.1.1 Illustrate how sound is produced by vibrating objects and columns of air. 2.P.1.1 Students know that vibrating objects produce sound. Students know that sound can be described in terms of pitch, which may be higher or lower. Students know that the length of an air column determines if its pitch is high or low. Students know that the shorter the air column is, the higher the pitch is. Students also know that the longer the air column is, the lower the pitch. 2. P.1.2 Summarize the relationship between sound and objects of the body that vibrate – eardrum and vocal cords. 2.P.1.2 Students know parts of the body vibrate in order to produce and receive sound. Our voices produce sound when air from the lungs passes over our vocal cords and makes them vibrate. The pitch and volume of the sounds humans can produce are changed by changing the properties of the vocal cords. Students know that sound waves are collected by the outer ear, which helps to funnel sound to the eardrum. The eardrum vibrates when sound waves hit it, and causes the tiny bones in the middle ear to vibrate as well. The vibrations move through the bones to the inner ear where the sounds are changed into a form that is understood by the brain. Hello all!
Some reminders are listed below:
