In reading we are working on long and short vowels. During social studies time we are learning about communities in the past and present. Our math lessons are focused on addition concepts and strategies. In science class we are studying matter. In religion we are reading how God created the world and are learning how to use our Bibles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Schedule<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>August 21 \u2013 K-2 Back to School Night 5:30 pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>August 27 &#8211; Teacher In-Service Day &#8211; <strong>12 pm Early Dismissal &#8211; Extended Care<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Back to School Night<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The K-2 back to school night is Thursday, August 21st. Please plan to attend. This is intended to give parents information about what to expect for your child&#8217;s second grade experience. Childcare will be provided. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back to School Night will begin upstairs in the music room. After the whole group presentations are done we will meet in the 2nd grade classroom downstairs for information specific to 2nd grade. I will have a presentation, handouts, and the class schedule available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Early Dismissal<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hope will dismiss early on Wednesday, August 27th for a teacher in-service day. Extended care will be available. 2nd grade early dismissal time begins at 11:30 am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Home Visits<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please sign up for a home visit if you have not done so already. It has been wonderful to connect with the students at the start of the year as we prepare for second grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Reminders<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2nd grade lunch time is an hour later this year. Please send your child with healthy snacks for both the morning and afternoon. Make sure that your child understands where the snacks are in their lunchbox or backpack so they are not accidentally eaten along with their lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hydration is an important part of keeping students focused and healthy, Encourage your student to bring a water bottle with them each day to school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Planners<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2nd grade is the first year students bring home planners with their assignments. Please check their planner each night for assignments and teacher notes. Planners should be returned to school each day. Please look for a green, yellow, or red mark in their planner in the day of the week box as their behavior communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Spelling<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Long Vowel Sounds:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>time<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>lake<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>home<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>game<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>nose<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>rake<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>made<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>erase<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>hose<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>became<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Challenge Words:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>joy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>rhythm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>scurried<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>shadows<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>splattered<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Memory<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth\u2026 And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good.\u201d Genesis 1:1, 31<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Miss Hannah Christian<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Parents, Week at a Glance This week in language we are reviewing short vowel sounds.
