Tidbits...

As a grade level we made a few changes, so I wanted to update you here.

Word study. Please be sure this is getting done each day. I will have look say cover copied on the back of each list weekly. This should be done each Tuesday. I check that all work is done daily. 

This week I am tweaking the work so there is less homework on Tuesday for open house. Please reference the assignment sheet. The daily homework is written each day. The day work is due, we will go over the work in class to see if there are any questions. If the work has not been done, it's impossible to go over specific questions.

*Open house is Tuesday, 7/29/14 at 6 pm. We will begin with a PTA clip and vote on the budget and then begin delving into second grade. :) I look forward to seeing you!
-If you can not make it, I will be posting the power point.


To make things easier at the end of the day, we adapted the links sheets. It will be on the back of the weekly assignment sheet. With this form, the children will only have to check the box to explain what they did to lose a link. If there are multiple checks for the day, that shows what multiples were lost for.

Each week, students are given 10 links on Monday. If they keep all ten links by Friday they may trade them in for a jewel. Jewels will be spent at the class store for prize box items.
