Sign up for Parent Conferences- November 21-22
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.
Slots will fill up fast. We recommend that you sign up quickly to ensure that you get a time that works with your schedule. :)

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 starting our unit on 2D and 3D shapes. Look at your house and when you are out and about for 2D and 3D shapes. Send your teacher pictures of any cool shapes that you come across.
Academics
ELAR: This week we are focusing on making predictions and retelling the events of a story in order.
Math: We will compose and sort 2D shapes with certain attributes
Science: We will observe, describe, and compare rocks based off of size, texture, and color.
Social Studies: We will identify the functions of government: establish order, provide security, and manage conflict.
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!
