Today in the second grade, we:

• worked with hard and soft c and g sounds in reading and phonics class
• worked with today's number (21), reviewed chapter one in preparation for next Tuesday's quiz, and completed an "About Me" math activity in math class
• reviewed our weekly target vocabulary, practiced our class poem and song, took turns sharing about a place we've visited during our weekly sharing time, and continued our handwriting unit in language and spelling class
• practiced measuring height, width, and length in science class

All About Me: Math!

  Tonight's Homework:

• Complete Journeys Practice Book pg. 5-6.
• Complete the Think-Tac-Toe (in your child's assignment book.) The students are directed to choose three activities from the sheet. You can sign each activity they complete. All written work should be shown in your child's language notebook. 
  The cartoon that the students were recommended to watch on the TTT is:
  Little Lulu: Episode 1
• Prepare for next Monday's (August 21st) spelling quiz: drooled, collars, curly, weighed, floppy, stood, straight, row (from Journeys pg. 12-13.)

Special Notes:

• The students have P.E. every Wednesday and Friday and are instructed to come to school in their P.E. uniforms. If they don't have their P.E. uniform on P.E. days, they unfortunately can't participate.

• We will have an open house tomorrow, Saturday 22nd. You are welcome to come by at or after 8:30 a.m., when you will have the chance to meet me until 9:30, the subject teachers until 10:15, after which there will be a presentation in the gym until 11 a.m. If there is inclement weather and the open house is canceled, I will let you know through Dojo as soon as I am alerted.
