Reading Homework Reading homework begins tonight. The children will need to read each night, fill out the summary log, have a parent sign in, and return it the next day.
The books that are going home this first time may be a little easy to some. The students know that if they read this book and do well on the AR quiz they will be bumped up to a harder book. On the other hand, if they do poorly on the quiz then we will continue to work together to find a book that is at the appropriate level.
Please keep the sticky notes in the books so that we can re-use them. And you are always allowed to read ahead or read more if you'd like. :)
Let me know if you have any questions.

IXL Hello there....thank you to everyone who came to Back to School Night. A couple things about IXL...every student that signs in at home and does IXL will receive a coupon and the student that does IXL for the most amount of time each week will earn two coupons. A parent suggested that I let you know what math skills we are working on in class that could be reinforced through IXL and I think that's a great idea. I will do my best to put the IXL standards that match what we've been doing in class on the blog each week. You can practice these or work on what you'd like...just make sure it's second or third grade :) Let me know if you have any questions. This week we've been reviewing the following concepts... A.3-Counting Patterns up to 100 P.3- Count Money up to $1 Q.4-Match Clocks and Times

Pirate Day for second graders is coming! A note will go home in Friday Folders tomorrow, but make sure to come dressed like a pirate next Friday to celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day! There's no need to go out and buy a costume...just get creative! :)
Reading Homework A lot of the kiddos have been asking about reading homework. It would usually begin next week (the week after we start doing homework) but I have decided to push it back another week. This will give us more time to get used to the routine of homework in second grade and also to talk about it at Back to School Night on the 11th.
So beginning on Monday, September 17th I will send home a book along with the homework packet. The book will need to be returned each day with the reading log filled out and signed. The paper pages of homework will still continue to be returned all at once on Friday.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Oops In the note that went home Friday I made a mistake on the Back to School Night date (I forgot to change it from last year's date). It has been correct on every other paper and is correct on the September calendar on the website. It is Tuesday, September 11th at 6:00 :) Thanks! I hope you had a great three day weekend!
On another note, homework is going home for the first time today. It is all due on Friday. Please carefully read the orange note attached to the front. Let me know if you have any questions.
