LANGUAGE ARTS: This week we read and discussed Meet Me Halfway and Big Red Lollipop. Meet Me Halfway is an informational text while Big Red Lollipop is a realistic fiction selection. We worked on skills such as decoding words with final consonant blends, decoding words with the prefixes "un" and "re" as in unable and rewrite, using context clues to determine meanings of unfamiliar words, capitalizing names for special people, animals, places, and things, and learning ten new high-frequency words.
SECOND GRADE MASS: The second grade class is in charge of the school Mass next Wednesday, October 21. Please look for a note in today's take home folder to see what special part your child will have in our Mass. Mass begins at 9:15 in the school gym. We hope to see you there if you are able to come!
MATH: Students used models to add two-digit numbers and added using place value and partial sums.
SPIRIT DAY: Tomorrow, October 16 will be a Spirit Day at St. Malachy. Students can pay $1.00 to wear sweatpants or a hat to school if they wish. The money raised helps those in need in our local community.
FIELD TRIP: Due to weather, our field trip to Thompson's Fall Festival has been postponed to Tuesday, October 20. Please have your child bring a sack lunch and a drink that day. This would also be a great day to wear our class t-shirt! Let's hope for great autumn weather!
PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES: Parent/teacher conferences are quickly approaching. Conferences will take place on Monday, October 26, Tuesday, October 27, Wednesday, October 28, and Thursday, October 29. An email was sent out from the school to schedule a conference time. If you did not receive the email or have questions about signing up, please contact the school office. I look forward to visiting with you about your child's progress!
