Classroom News and Reminders
Charging Chromebooks- PLEASE be sure that your child's Chromebook is charged before coming to school each day. Please also check to make sure you know where your child's charger is. If you don't know please let me know ASAP.
Playground Fundraiser: Each child got a manila envelope last week with details about the fundraiser we have started for our new playground. If you did not see one for your child let me know. The third turn in is this FRIDAY.
Reading Homework- Read 15-20 minutes. Fluency is something I have been looking at recently will all the students, how many words per minute correct a student can read. The goal for 2nd grade is 113. Each night when your child is reading, stop and listen to them, are they reading with expression (or do they sound like a robot?), do they stop for punctuation (or read right on through it?) and research shows reading the same text a few time is okay.
Spelling Homework- Nightly assignment (see Green Folder for details)
