Monday Memo 9/29/14

I hope you had a great weekend.  It was like summer!

Conferences

Thank you so much for signing up for conferences.  I'm really looking forward to our time together.  I have heard from most of you.  If you have not yet responded, please do so as soon as possible.  Here is the link.  Thank you.

Homework

The October Homework Calendar was sent home today.  If you need another copy, click here.  Remember that every assignment for the week, including the Reading Log, is due on Friday.  Thanks for your help.

The Monthly Message will be sent home tomorrow.  Do you like that?  The Monday Memo, the Monthly Message... I try to make it catchy :)  Please read it, write a short note back, and send it back to school on Wednesday.  One of our English Language Arts standards in second grade is to be able to use proper letter form, including using commas in greetings and closings of letters.  More importantly, building the skill of being able to recall an event or related events and adding relevant details to create a cohesive written piece is an important goal for us in second grade.  Thank you for your help with this.

Field Trip

We are very excited for our field trip on October 16.  The permission slip will be sent home tomorrow.  You can indicate on the form if you would like to chaperone.  I'll let you know right away if you are selected to be a chaperone.

Buddies

We have had two meetings with our fourth grade buddies.  Our buddies this year are the kids in Ms. Moynihan's class.  The students interviewed each other at our first meeting and played a math game together at our second.  Next time, we'll do a fall craft.

That's all for now.  Please contact me anytime if you have any questions.  Have a good night!
