9/8/2017 1 Comment Successful Second week!Dear Families,
We had another wonderful week at school! Room 205 is a class full of caring young students who are eager to learn and to display our King Core Values. Weekly Updates: Reading In reading we are learning the routines of reading workshop and how to build our reading stamina. Please ask your child about the word “stamina” at home. So far, our class has read for 11 minutes straight! We will be working to build our stamina as the year continues. Math This week, we started our first math module. This module focuses on addition and subtraction. Today, we played connect four with “Make 10” math facts. Please continue to review math facts with your children at home! Writing Our first writing project, based on the book “The Best Part of Me,” allowed the students to focus on the best part of themselves. We are working on writing complete sentences, starting our sentences with a capital letters, and ending our sentences with a period. I can’t wait to see the final drafts of our first project! Family Journals Today, we started writing in our Family Journals. On Fridays, second graders will write a letter about their week at school. Students are encouraged to share their journals with their families on the weekend, and then bring them back to school on Mondays. I ask that parents either sign the letters or write a letter back to their child. Thank you for your support! Classroom Routines Over the past two weeks, we spent a lot of time focusing on the King Core Values and how to follow them in the classroom, hallways, cafeteria, and bathrooms. We have also read many stories with a focus on kindness and inclusion. These themes will continue to be a topic of discussion throughout the year during morning meeting and open circle. Friendly Reminders
Have a happy and restful weekend! Miss Boudrow
