Second Grade News

February 4-8

Reading:  Our reading vocabulary words for this week are: 

         about                         different                father                told

        important                  attention             interesting          secretly              

        special                       Germany             wonderful           Mexico

Please put this list in a handy spot and have your child read through it a couple of times each day.  I am seeing huge reading gains in the children who have been reviewing these words at home on a regular basis. 

Spelling:  We will have the same spelling list as last week since we did not have enough time to practice due to the snow days.  Your child’s list is attached to this letter.

Library:  We return to the library on Monday.  Please make sure all books are returned so that more may be checked out.

Valentine’s Day:  In the afternoon on February 14, we will be having a Valentine exchange in our classroom.  I am asking that each child bring in a Valentine for every member of our class.  The Valentines may be homemade or the purchased variety.  Since we are second graders, I want the students to address and sign the Valentines by themselves.  This can be a big job.  So, please have your child do a few each night.  These are the students in our class:

            Michael                     Kalvin                        Logan             Amorin                   Regan

            Jacob                         Layne                       Trenton           Adara                     Drew

            Haley                         Brooke                   Kevin                Kyle                        Lauren

           Morgan                    Gabbie                    Annika           SidneyF.                   Mackenzie

            Sydney H.                 Sam (our helper)

Reminder:  If your child is collecting money for Jump Rope For Heart, please make sure the money is turned in by February 11.

Have a great weekend!
