Crew's News
December 10 - December 14
Announcements & Reminders:
- In light of the possible weather we could have this weekend, I went ahead and gave each student their guided reading books, question, and a math practice sheet they should work on if we do not have school on Monday. If we do have school, the reading homework will be the same, however, we will work on the math practice sheet in class. I will also assign a few practice items on Freckle for students to work on if they choose to do so.
- Homework questions this week are a bit different. In the student's guided reading folders is a yellow "Reader Response" paper. I'm asking that they choose one of these response questions to complete each night after they read their books.
- Please send earbuds for your student to use in class
- We are going to change our classroom schedule slightly. We are switching math with science/social studies. Math will now be taught first thing in the morning in the second grade classes.
