Second Grade News

November 7-11

Reading:  These are the new vocabulary words for this week:
          animals                before                 between             knew
          why                     woodpile             dinosaurs            swallow
          few                      slither
Please put this list in a handy spot, and have your child read through it a couple of times each day.  Thanks so much for doing this as I am seeing great improvement in the reading of the boys and girls who tell me that they are practicing these words at home.
Spelling:  Our new spelling words for this week are:  after, camper, shower, over, mother, father, hurt, burn, turn, furry, hurry, and person.
Conferences:  These will take place on Thursday, November 11.  Please return the green conference sheet as soon as possible so that I can make any needed schedule changes.  I look forward to meeting with you on Thursday.
Feed the Troops:  Our elementary has been challenged to collect 3000 nonperishable and canned items for troops in the 527th MP Company in Kabul, Afghanistan.  This is the company in which Sarah Barber, a recent McBain graduate, is serving.  If you are able to make a donation, please send it to school before November 18.  Have a great week!
