Whew! Has this been a busy month or what? I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving! Between Halloween, conferences and Open House things have been busy around Tecumseh! It was great to meet with most of you who were able to come to a parent-teacher conference. If you weren't able to schedule a conference, let me know if you would like to find a time to meet.
Just a few "housekeeping" details....
During conferences parents had a chance to sign up to be a parent reader. The following dates are still available: 2/16, 3/2, 4/6, 4/13, 5/4, 5/18 and 6/1. Send me an email if you'd like to sign up for one of those dates to come read to the class!
Report cards are coming home today, 11/17. Remember to keep the actual report card and sign and return the envelope. Thank you!
SAVE THE DATE: The 2nd grade annual performance of "Paint the Town December" will be Thursday, December 21, at 2:15pm in the cafeteria.
Here's a bit of what we've been up to:
In ELA we finished up week 4 focusing on the two sounds of oo (book, moon). We read the story "The True Story of Ruby Bridges." We will pick up with Week 5 after Thanksgiving break.
Students took the Module 3 End of Module Assessment today-we will start Module 4 after Thanksgiving break. In Module 4 we will begin practicing a variety of strategies to use to help us solve 2 and 3 digit addition and subtraction problems.
For Social Studies we've been working on map skills and learning about the 3 types of communities with some lessons from our student teacher, Miss Vachereau.
The week after break I will be out of the classroom on the 28th and 29th for training on our new science unit, Erosion. We'll start this unit mid-December. I've heard it's a lot of fun with some great experiments that we'll be doing!
I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
