Conferences
**For those that have signed up for conferences on October 29th - I am going to move those a week since Pumpkin Patch was rescheduled for that day. New day will be Tuesday, November 5th. IF the new day doesn't work just let me know.
Parent Teacher Conferences are right around the corner...in fact the week we return from October break. Conferences are student led conferences - so please keep that in mind when you are signing up for a conference slot. If the times available do not work for you, please let me know. We will work something out. I am looking forward to chatting with you about your child's progress in 2nd grade.

Halloween Party
I'm still looking for some help!
Please let me know via email or note in the planner if you are interested in helping me plan our Halloween Party on October 31st. We have a minimum day that day. Many hands make light work. If you can't meet, but have some ideas I would love to hear those too!
LEXIA
Starting this week your child has a label in their planner with their Lexia unit goal for the week. Student have between 6 and 12 units to complete during the week. We will typically have time on Monday and Tuesday to work on Lexia. On Wednesday please plan on your child spending atleast 15-20 min on Lexia. It is crucial that they get their minutes and units in.
On the initial log in screen the middle box indicated their goal minutes as well as how much more time they need to reach the goal (see picture below). If you child has not reached their goal please have them work in Lexia for 15-20 minutes.
Curriculum Update
READING
We are working Teacher's Pet this again this week.
WRITING:
We are finishing up thank you letters to Food, Love Farm this week.
MATH:
We should be wrapping up Chapter 2 this week. Please continue to work with your student. Espcially on the counting forward and backwards. Making the transition from 992 to 1002 can be tough for kids when counting by 10.
SCIENCE:
Our goal this week is to get back into Science!
Technology: This week students will be working on learning how to resize and insert images into a document.
Physical Education: Just a reminder that our days are on Wednesdays and Fridays. Be sure that your child has appropriate footwear on these days. We do PE with Mrs. White's class.
