At Red Oak Elementary, we believe that our partnership with parents is one of the hallmarks of student success. That is why we have dedicated the evening of Nov. 21 and the morning of Nov. 22 to have focused and in-depth conversations with you. We will update you on your child's academic progress and set future goals together. Please take a moment to sign up for a time that you are available to meet with your child's homeroom teacher.

Family Focus
This year we are taking more of a family focused approach to homework. We believe that spending quality family time is vital in the success of your student. We will provide family friendly, engaging homework activities and assignments. We would love if you would send us pictures of these activities and share them with us.
This weeks Family focus: We are working on 3D shapes this week and identifying attributes of shapes. Students need to bring an item from home to design a new product. Some items could be a paper towel roll, a ping pong ball, a kleenex box, a empty cereal box, etc. Some shapes could be cube, rectangular prism, sphere, pyramid, etc. These items need to be brought by Friday, November 21st.

Science: We will observe, describe, and compare rocks based off of size, texture, and color.
Social Studies: We will compare the roles of different elected officials: president, governor and mayor.
2nd Grade Adventures
In order to promote high attendance, we will be spelling out the word ATTENDANCE. Each day that our class has 100% attendance a letter will be added. When the whole word is spelled out, we will celebrate. We will also have a school wide prize for the grade level with the highest attendance. Please help us reach our goal in 2nd grade!
