Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to the first week of the 3rd grading period!! We will begin many new, more complex skills this 9 weeks as we move toward preparing for 3rd grade. The first half of the year I was able to read the benchmark tests to your student. I am not able to do this starting this grading period.
Please make sure that your student has school supplies such as pencils, paper, and glue sticks at school. I am beginning to run out of the supplies that I had purchased this summer.
Please have your child read TO you every night. They can check out books on Wednesday during library. However, if they need a new one before then, they can go before school. Becoming a better reader is like playing a sport. The more you practice the better you get.
In reading this 9 weeks, we are working on the following skills:
Prefixes and Suffixes
Antonyms and Synonyms
Use pictures, captions, and charts
Use dictionaries, glossaries, and indices
Identify the problem and solution in fiction texts
Identify the main idea in fiction texts
Identify the main idea in nonfiction texts
In Math we will begin adding two digit numbers with regrouping (carrying). Please help your child practice this every evening as this is a very difficult skill for them to grasp.
This week in science, we begin learning about living and non- living things. In Social Studies we begin learning about how communities change over time.
Thank you for all of your support.

Many of you have NOT — I repeat — HAVE NOT handed me your study guide. Monday is your last chance to turn it in. With many of the students who already turned these in, the study guide grade has actually raised the grade one letter grade. Would you like to see that happen with you, too?????
Then get your study guide in to me on Monday!!! That is the VERY LAST day I can take it!!!

We are now entering into the third nine weeks. Our time together is moving at warp speed. This will be an intense nine weeks. We have a number of skills that we will be working on in class. It is important that the students stay on track and be ready to move forward each day. I am confident they will put their best foot forward. The students had until Friday to meet their AR goal. I am looking to eating lunch with those students that met their goals in a few weeks. I will be putting the new AR goals for this nine weeks in later this week. Please review the information under each subject heading on my blog. Also please read my weekly printed newsletter. I am including several important upcoming dates. I ask that you add them to your calendar. Take care and have a great week!

This week we will begin a new unit called, “Construction Zone”. We will learn about building things. Using the topic, “I Can Build,” we will read stories about tools, materials, buildings, and construction. Our new letter this week is Letter B.

Please continue to review all letters learned so far (S,T,P,O X, Y,U,W,F,A,Z). We are getting there! Please continue working on identifying numbers and counting, as well as name-writing (if your child can write his/her first name, move on to last name.)
Reading Skills
We will continue to work on the sight words “I” and “like” by making sentences “I like ____.” We will practice writing the words and identifying them. If I sent sight words home with your child, please review them daily. If not, please keep reviewing the letters of the alphabet and letter sounds.

If the desktop of your computer looks like this….
trouble could be headed your way. Did you know documents saved to the desktop of a computer are not backed up? This means if your computer crashes or a technician has to perform certain types of updates to your computer, all the documents saved on the desktop will be GONE.
Don’t distress because there is a better way! Save files in My Documents where you have 5 GB of storage OR save files in your Google Apps Drive account where you have UNLIMITED storage.
