Homework Information
Students were given a reading log and word study worksheet.
The word study worksheets are the sounds we are working on in class. Please assist students with this assignment and teach them to listen for the sounds to spell the words correctly and make words using those letter(s).
Students are to read for 20 minutes daily. Please write the date, write the title of book, and how many times the book(s) have been read in the tally mark section.
Please have students read the same book more than once. One of the best strategies for readers is to reread their books. Rereading builds fluency and understanding. Each time a student reads a book, they will get more meaning out of it. The first reading is to become familiar with the text. The second reading is focused on comprehension. The third reading is for the student to be able to retell. Please tally mark each time the book was read. Also, write down that the book was read at home in the home/school section.
A picture of the reading log is attached.
Homework is given every Friday and due the next Friday . Next Due Date October 16, 2015
Thank you for assisting your child with their homework.
Library Information
Parents, students are allowed to check out two books. If both books are not returned, students will not be allowed to check out books. Please make sure students have both books on Wednesday.
Our library lesson will be this Wednesday 10/21/2015
Kidblog
Parents please log onto https://kidblog.org/class/kelleys-kids-konnections/posts . Your child is blogging about their thoughts and their day. It would mean the world to them to know you are commenting on their post and someone besides me is reading what they are writing.
Students can also blog while they are at home about exciting events that are happening. Having a child write their thoughts down assist them in their writing because it teaches them how to express themselves by adding in details and using correct punctuation.
Please keep comments positive. :) Thank you for logging on and following us.
Having students write daily will create strong writers that will help them to express their thoughts and feelings.
To join parents have your child log on and invite you through their blog.
We do appreciate all the parent(s)/guardian(s) for all you do!!! :)

Birthday Information
Dear Cimarron Families,
Many of you have been asking about birthday information to help plan parties for your children. Cimarron is transitioning to a directory for the 2016-2017 school year, however, this year, Cimarron Room Parents will be collecting information via Google Docs in lieu of the birthday lists from past years. The Google Docs will list parent information for Cimarron students, per grade level, therefore, as a perk, you will have full grade-level access, not just to the students in your child’s class. Street addresses will not be listed on these Google Docs. Parents needing addresses to mail invitations can call/text/e-mail recipients for this information.
If you would like for you and your child to be included in this year’s electronic birthday list, please click here to complete the following information:
· Homeroom Teacher
· Parent Name (first and last)
· Child’s Name (first only)
· Parent Phone Number
· Parent E-mail Address
Please Note: Anyone who has access to Google Docs will have access to this information. It is our intention to keep these lists private for only Cimarron families, however, we cannot guarantee confidentiality. Therefore, we are asking that you do not share this information with people outside of Cimarron Elementary.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact the PTA President, Courtney Gunn, at courtneylgunn@gmail.com.
Thank you,
Second Grade Room Parents
