Second grade students will have the opportunity to make birdhouses on December 10. They will need to bring $3.50 to help cover the cost of materials. Two students still need to turn in their money by this Wednesday!
Last Friday I sent a spelling sheet for you to work on with your child. Be sure it gets back to school by tomorrow (Tuesday, 9th). Later in the week, we’ll begin a new spelling unit.
This week, I’ll be testing your child on “weather”. We’ve covered why we have seasons, the seasonal weather patterns, and that light and energy come from the sun.
Our goal this year at Forest Ridge is to improve students’ writing. Family writing for this week: Work with your child to write a goal. Make a list of why the goal will be helpful and 3 things that will need to be done to achieve the goal. Then write the topic sentence stating the goal and why it’s a good goal. Next write three detail sentences stating the three things that will need to be done to achieve this goal. Concluding sentence states how your child will feel after goal is achieved. Writing together encourages your child to see you having fun with writing, and allows you an opportunity to spend time with your child while he/she learns. Please have your child bring the writing in by Friday.
Take home folders (with reading logs attached) need to be turned in on Thursday.
