Wednesday

Sorry that this is a bit late!

There were no baggie books sent home tonight. The teacher that changes them to new ones was sick today.

We started a math paper today and the backside was sent home for homework if it was not finished in class. I do know that a few students finished, but not everyone did.

We are testing on our spelling words tomorrow! Please study your words tonight!

Don't forget to finish your reading coupons and send them back to school for January so your child can earn a super hero shield. If you student earns four shields they can earn a ice cream party with Mrs. Barnum!

Thank you so much for all you do!

Wednesday Homework

We had a great day in Second Grade today!!

Here is homework for tonight:
1. Read your baggie book for 20 minutes.
2. Write 3-5 sentences in your reading log about what you read for 20 minutes. I would like you to write these sentences even if you do not finish your book!
3. Practice spelling words.

(There were a few kids that did not bring back their math homework from last night. This is a quick reminder to finish it and send it back!)

We are working on making Class Dojo a bigger part of our classroom. Today the students made up and chose their own rewards and consequences for earning certain amounts of points. I am working on getting email addresses entered into Class Dojo so that emails will be sent home every Friday about your child.

Tomorrow we will be having a plastic frog jumping contest! The kids are excited about this activity! I hope to be able to take pictures of what the kids are doing and post a few here on the blog.

Look for an email that will be sent out later today.
Thank you so much for all of your help and support in our classroom!
