Hello families—

be truly underway in 2nd grade!
We began our new reading program this week! Wow,

be learning! You can expect to finally see classroom
books coming home for nightly reading and I will start
Reading logs next week. I will also send home a
detailed letter about the various types of readings
your child will experience! It is so exciting!! How do
friends and family depend on each other is our
essential question this week. The kids have amazing
conversations about this. We did make a nice writing
about a good friend and we then worked hard to make
a friendly letter thank you card to a special friend. Be
sure to ask about that!! Our first spelling test and sight

•Drop Off/Pick Up:

please only use the front doors. We do not want kids
entering between the buses by the back doors.
•When you need to pick your child up, please pick
them up at the back doors. Again, we do not want to

•Also at the back door it is very helpful if you park as

sure to ask about that!! Our first spelling test and sight
word page is arriving home today. It is a new testing
format so it may take awhile to get used to! They did
just fine for the first one. Also, they will need to
master the words that come home on the Word of the

words by the end of the year!
The children worked very hard in our math class this
week! This is and will continue to be a challenging
