Classroom News and Reminders
Charging Chromebooks- PLEASE be sure that your child's Chromebook is charged before coming to school each day.
25 Day Reading Challenge: Mrs. St. John has created a 25 Day Reading Challenge, I send the flyer home on Friday. There are different ideas for who the kids can read to, where they can read and types of books. We already checked off a few here, please try to work with your kiddos to check off more at home. It is due to Mrs. St. John on March 31 for an unnamed prize.
Reading Homework- Read 15-20 minutes. Fluency is something I have been looking at recently will all the students, how many words per minute correct a student can read. The goal for 2nd grade is 113. Each night when your child is reading, stop and listen to them, are they reading with expression (or do they sound like a robot?), do they stop for punctuation( or read right on through it) and research shows reading the same text a few time is okay.
Spelling Homework- Nightly assignment (see Green Folder for details)
