We had an awesome first week with your second graders. We look forward to the remainder of the year with them and watching them grow.
We are still missing several papers that came home last week that needed to be signed. Please do a double check to make sure you signed and returned items such as the code of conduct, the nurse's pink form, the attendance letter, science contract, and the free and reduced lunch form if this applied to you.
We have one item of business that we need your help with: If you pick your child up at school, please wait at the bottom of the stairs for your child's name to be called. It crowds the porch to have everybody up on the porch and ends up taking more time to get your student to you.
Thursday, Sept. 1, is Meet the Teacher Night at Galloway. We would love to see everyone there! Second grade will meet in their own individual rooms and will NOT be having sessions. It will be a meet and greet come and go experience.
Monday, Sept. 5, is our Labor Day holiday and that means there will be NO School for teachers or students. Enjoy your break with family and friends.
Here is an overview of what we will be learning this week.
Math: Addition facts and fact families (doubles, neighbors, counting on, making a 10)
Spelling: CVCe long vowel words Here is our list for this week:

**Remember that your child will have homework every night for spelling and also to read for 15 minutes each night.
Writing/Grammar: We will be working on revising our autobiographies for capitals at the beginning of sentences, punctuation at the end of sentences, and deciding between interrogative sentences (asking) and declarative sentences (telling).
Reading: Activating prior knowledge when reading a story. We call this our schema.
Science: safety practices, tools for science, and beginning a study on air
Social Studies: Being a good citizen What characteristics make a good citizen?
Thank you again for all your support and help with getting this year off to such a great start!
Sincerely,
Second grade teachers!!!

Week 1 August 22-26
We are trying something new this year by creating a blog to help parents stay more informed about our classrooms. Our goal is to keep homework, spelling lists, weekly subject focus, etc. on the blog for parents to have readily available. So with that, let's begin.
This week we are focusing on routines in the classroom: how to do certain activities, learning the classroom, rules, etc.
Spelling focus is on CVC words. This week's list

Writing focus is writing an autobiography and making sure that sentences have capital letters and correct ending punctuation.
Science focus is on what is a scientist and getting our notebooks ready for the year.
Social Studies focus is on rules and procedures in our classroom and community.
HOMEWORK: Your child will be expected to complete one different assignment from the list of 25 spelling activities to do each night. The assignments should be completed in their spelling journal and tuned in on Fridays. ALSO, we would like your child to complete at least 15 minutes of reading a night and respond on their reading log.
