Mrs. Walden's Weekly Update
Week of Sept. 6-9
Hello Cardinal, Families!
I hope everyone had a great, long weekend. We normally go the the beach for Labor Day Weekend, but this year we decided to stay home. It was nice to just spend time together, relax, and sleep in!
Your child should have received their reading challenge for the month of September in their folder on Friday. This is a A-Z Challenge and books can be read in any order. The goal is for students to read at least one book that either starts with that letter (or has that letter in one of the major words in the book title) OR read a book whose author's first or last name starts with that letter. This reading challenge will be due September 29th. Please reach out to me if this explanation doesn't make sense.
Our Discovery Place field trip has been moved to October 11. I THINK payments for this trip are due on September 15th, but I forgot to look to see if that had changed before I paid for my own second grader, and now I can't see the due date. Regardless, please do not wait until the last minute to pay for this trip.
NEED: We are in need of emergency snacks to pass out when a student forgets theirs (which is happening a lot). Individually wrapped items tend to work best. Thanks in advance!
Curriculum
Math: We will review for our test at the beginning of the week, and we will take our test on Wednesday. We will be starting unit 2 on Thursday and be talking about how to find the missing addends.
Social Studies: We will be wrapping up our unit on communities this week.
Writing: We will continue working on expanding our sentences by adding details about who, when, where, and why.
