Announcements

2nd Grade Announcements

  • Family Lunch Fridays - Starting Oct. 14th, our campus is open each Friday for lunch visitors! When you arrive you will sign in at the front office and receive a visitor badge that must be worn at all times. You will need a photo ID (license or passport). You will be able to eat lunch with your child at the designated tables for lunch visitors. You may only eat with your child. No other learners may be invited to eat with you. You may purchase lunch in the cafeteria or bring a lunch with you. Parents will be dismissed from the cafeteria. You will need to go back through the front office to sign out at the end of lunchtime. Please see Ms. Martin's Principal Newsletter for details on who may eat with your child and a form to fill out for non-parent lunch visitors. 

Background Checks

If you have not had a chance to fill out a background check please fill one out for yourself or update last year's! Click here to register as a new volunteer or confirm your information from last year. This must be completed every school year for you to volunteer at the school. The district will send you an email when your background check has cleared. Any opportunities for volunteering at the school, including holiday parties, will require a cleared background check. Once completed it lasts for the remainder of the school year.  When you create your account, make sure to click on the add new application button. (see picture below)


Chipotle Spirit Night


What we are learning?

Math Workshop - In Math, learners will compose and decompose numbers up to 1,000 in more than one way. Learners can listen to a number read aloud and decompose the number in more than one way. Learners will continue to review addition and subtraction strategies in class with two-digit numbers. Feel free to practice at home and use the strategy videos linked below to help!


Reading Workshop - In Reading Workshop, learners will take their November Station ISIP assessment. They will also compare and contrast information using the mentor texts The Rough Face Girl and Cinderella. In Grammar, they will be exploring the subject and predicate parts of a sentence. Don't forget that our Library Day is Thursday each week! Your child should be checking out 3 books each week - one nonfiction, one "good fit" and one free choice.

Writing Workshop- In Writing Workshop, learners will wrap up their information writing unit. They will edit their writing with a partner using a checklist, write their final copy, and add text features like a table of contents, a glossary, and illustrations to "publish" their book. 

Social Studies- In Social Studies, learners will identify landmarks and their significance within the community, state, and nation. We will also be starting to learn a little about Veterans Day.

Science - In Science, learners will be investigating the way sound energy works and affects objects.
