Today in the second grade, we:

• reviewed our weekly target vocabulary and practiced using the indefinite articles "a" and "an" correctly in language and spelling class
• listened to and answered concept-checking questions about "The Ugly Vegetables" in reading and phonics class
• used cubes of 10 to discover place value in math class
• checked out new books to read from the library during independent learning
• compared and contrasted deserts and oceans in social studies class
• described various body coverings (skin, fur, shell, etc.) in science class

I have received back most of the schedule forms for the parent-teacher conferences-thank you! Four parents have only selected the first time slot, so I have sent home some of the forms again to see if there are any additional times when you can meet. If you are unable to meet on Friday, I am happy to meet you after school another day, just let me know.  Below is the schedule that I have so far:

• 12:10-12:25: Four parents have selected this spot
• 12:30-12:45: Nathan
• 12:50-1:05
• 1:10-1:25
• 1:30-1:45: Benson
• 1:50-2:05
• 2:10-2:25: Miya
• 2:30-2:45: Yoko
• 2:50-3:05: Huan

• 3:30-3:45
• 3:50-4:05
• 4:15-4:30

A belated happy birthdays to Marianne and Shannon! They celebrated their birthdays over the weekend. These two bright, curious girls do their best to keep our classroom humming along happily.
