Dear Parents,
Week at a Glance
This week in reading we are learning about R-controlled vowels. In language we are working on words ending with the sound “ang”, “ing”, “ong”, and “ung”. We are beginning a new unit on place value in math and are reviewing tens and ones. In science we are learning how we combine materials to build new things. In religion we are learning about Moses striking the rock and the fall of Jericho. In handwriting we are writing the letters “b”, “p”, “r”, and “n”. During social studies we are learning about state and local governments.

Tissues
Our classroom supply of tissues is getting low. If you are able, please consider donating a box of tissues to help keep our classroom healthy. Anything is appreciated!
Report Cards
Report cards will go home in Thursday folders this week. Please return the white envelope to school.
Reading Logs
2nd graders will track their nightly reading assignments using a reading log. You must sign the reading log and record the name of the book your child read so your student can get credit for reading. Nightly reading helps students maintain and improve fluency and provides them with an opportunity to independently use the reading strategies they are learning in school.
Planners
Please continue to check your child’s planner. It needs to be returned to school each day.
Trunk or Treat
Hope is hosting a trunk or treat on Friday, October 24th from 5:30-7 pm. You are invited to attend.
