In phonics this week your child worked with open syllable patterns within words as in be, he, shy, dry, go and so.
Planners
Thank you for looking at and signing your child's planner every night. This is a great way for home/school communication. If there is ever a time that you would like to ask me something or you think I should know about something, write it in your child’s planner. I check everyone's planner each morning.
Classroom Fund
The Second Grade team is asking all families to send $10.00 to school by Oct. 1st. if able. Please make any checks payable to your child's teacher.
