Dear Parents,
I was so proud of all the students' hard work on their four seasons posters. They are hung in our classroom, and we'll enjoy the beauty of them this quarter. The students really enjoyed getting to show off their posters last Wednesday! We loved ALL the creativity!
Just a reminder that on Wednesday, October 31, students may dress up as a historical figure. Since 2nd grade begins with the birth of Christ and we'll be studying the Dark Ages around the end of October, some ideas could include: Mary, Joseph, an angel, a shepherd, an Apostle or a Roman Soldier. Other ideas
: A viking, a monk, or any of the historical figures we've studied, such as Diocletian, Constantine, Herod the Great, Jerome, or Erik the Red. Please email me though if you still need help with a costume idea!
I'm so excited for the upcoming week, and I treasure our school days very much.
In Christ,
Mrs. Poncy
Important Info: Math: It's time to start memorizing the 2s and 3s times tables! These will be assessed on Monday, 10/29. Please spend a few minutes daily (you can even do in the car) to practice. This satisfies the following student learning objective for second grade at Fortis Academy:
Student knows multiplication tables of 2 and 3. I will also send home a blank multiplication grid and completed x table on MON to help your child study.
Reading: We will focus on the structural element of understanding setting this week in,
Leif the Lucky. Setting is the time and place, or when and where, a story happens. Focus on the setting this week in your discussion at home. Ask your child to identify the setting, how it changes, how it can even add to the story or how the story could even be different without the particular setting involved.
Science: Please continue to have your child fill out their student weather journal template and return when completed! Emphasize using adjectives to describe the weather in the first box on the template (hot, sunny, cool, cold, warm, humid).
Student Job Applications: Please have your child return their job applications on Monday so that I can start assigning classroom duties. I am so excited to have more help around the classroom and to keep reinforcing responsibility :)
Parent Teacher Conferences: If you haven't gotten a chance to sign up for a parent-teacher conference, I still have spots available! Please email me if you did not get the Sign-Up Genius link I emailed.
