Wow! I can’t believe the first 6 weeks is already over and that report cards went home today. I already have a copy ready and waiting for you so please send them back as soon as possible and I will send the copy home with your student.
The start of this year really flew by. By now, we are settled into our routines and now the real fun will begin. I look forward to all the good times we will have learning and trying new things this year. We will begin making a podcast about Christopher Columbus in the next week so look for that soon! We are also involved in a collaborative project with several other second grade classes across the nation and one from Australia where we compare the weather where we live. We are hoping to meet our 2nd grade friends from across the nation via Skype very soon.
Going forward, remember to have students read every night and once on the weekends. If they forget their book, they can read something from home. If they forget their reading log, they can write in their planner or any other piece of paper. Also, math homework is done Monday through Thursday nights. There may be a lot of us, but I know this will be my best 2nd grade class yet!
