August 27, 2015

We are almost finished with our second week of school and the students of room 6 and 7 seem to be settling into our new routine. Your kids are starting to act like second graders.  They are such cuties.  They make me smile everyday.  

This week we started P.E., enrichment, and AR.  For the next few weeks we are doing art for our enrichment. Ms. Sutter has lots of fun activities plained for our second graders.  It's going to be great!

Thank you to all of the parents that came to Back To School Night.  I so appreciate that you took time at the end of your busy day to stop in and see what second grade is all about at GPS. If you were not able to make it on Tuesday, stop in and pick up a unit one study guide.  I look forward to meeting all of you in the next few weeks.

Thursday folders went home today.  Please pull them out of your kids bags tonight.  Some students were given a purple packet of sight words.  If you did received a packet, please be sure to practice with your student at home.

Homework packets for ELA are being sent home this Friday. Please be sure that your student works on his/her reading log each night.  The GPS library is still not up and running, but AR has started. Your student needs to be sure to meet their AR goal each unit.   Points are only earned if they pass the AR quiz.  If your student is not passing quizzes  they need to (A.) make sure they are not reading books that are too hard and (B.) try reading the book more than once before taking the quiz.

Hope you all have a fantastic Friday and a great weekend!
