We are off to a great start in second grade! Last week we learned and practiced many of our routines. We also learned about how to be safe and respectful in the different areas of our school. We are so excited to be jumping into our regular schedule this week!

Family night notes will be sent home early this week. Our first family night, "Hot Dogs and How to Help", will be Tuesday, September 19th from 5:30-7:00. You only need to return one RSVP per family. 

Scholastic book orders will be sent home monthly this year. The first order will be sent home this week and will be due next Wednesday. Book orders are optional, but are a great way to get books into your child's hands!

Our first service project this school year is Postcards for Seniors. Starting in early October, students will have the opportunity to decorate postcards that will be delivered monthly to Meals on Wheels participants in Kaukauna. We are in need of some supplies for this project:

-New boxes of markers

-Light-colored card stock

-Fun stickers

If you have any of these items at home and would like to donate, please send them to school with your child or drop them off in the office.

Curriculum Updates:

Student of the Day starts on Monday. If you didn't receive a note with your child's day last week, please let me know and I will send another sheet. This is a great way to get to know our classmates at the beginning of the year.

Readers Workshop: We are working on workshop routines and keeping ourselves reading during independent reading time. We are also working on previewing books and partner conversations.

Writers Workshop: Students are writing true, small moment stories. These are one time stories, such as the time I lost my first tooth or the time I fell off my bike.

Math Workshop: We have been setting up our math routines and learning how to use our math tools. Students are being assessed on addition math facts.

Social Studies: Last week we talked about our hopes and dreams for second grade. This week we will be brainstorming rules to help us reach our hopes and dreams. 

Thanks for all you do to help and support your child. If you have any thoughts, questions, or concerns, please let me know!

Have a great  week!
