Spelling and Vocabulary lists have been sent home.

Reading Class

This week will be a review week.  We will take Just In Time Theme 2 Test.  We will continue reading Because of Winn-Dixie this week. I also need some more copies of the books “Mouse and the Motorcycle” and “How to Eat Fried Worms.”  The more copies we have the easier it is for the children.

We will continue working on writing sentences correctly and answering questions using a complete sentence.  Our language focus for the week is contractions.

-Each child needs to bring a white 2” binder. We still have a few children that haven’t brought one in. I need report covers if anyone can send in a pack. Thank you for all the supplies you have sent in.

Please remember it is important to read with your child every night.  We will have a practice Spelling Test on Thursday  If your child makes a 100 they do not have to retake it on Friday. Please study the challenge words and definitions. They write them down on Monday to bring home for studying.

We will continue working on writing sentences correctly and answering questions using a complete sentence.  Our language focus for the week is contractions.

Homeroom 

We will start a unit on soil and geography.  We will look in-depth at soil and its horizons.  We started making out “dirt shirts” yesterday.  If anyone else is able to send in the requested items on last weeks note (pudding, Oreos, white chocolate chips, etc), we would appreciate it.  Thank you to everyone who has sent in things.

If you can send in gallon size Ziploc bags, it would be great. We use them a lot in our classes.

 

If any parents have access to making copies for the class let me know!!!!

Please make sure that your child comes to class prepared! This means having pencils, erasers, homework, etc.

 

It is important every parent participates for their child!

Please practice handwriting at home.  Your child should be able to write neatly with spaces in betweeh their words.

MATH

To Every Parent 

There are little eyes upon you,

 And they are watching night and day;

There are little ears that quickly take

 In every word you say;

There are little hands all eager to do

Everthing you do,

And a little child who's dreaming

 of The day he'll be like you.

You're the little child's idol,

You're the wisest of the wise, In his little mind about you,

No suspicions ever rise;

He believes in you devoutly,

Holds all you say and do;

He will say and do in your way when

He's grown up to be like you.

There's a wide eyed little child who

Believes you're always right,

And his ears are always open and he

Watches day and night;

You are setting an example

Everyday in all you do

For the little child who's waiting

To grow up to be like you.

  I would like to start with a little about myself. This is my sixteenth year teaching. I was a kindergarten teacher at Prattville Kindergarten, and then moved to Daniel Pratt when it opened. I then moved to Pine Level to teach first grade. This is my third year teaching second grade.  I received my bachelor’s degree from Troy State University and I completed my master’s degree in Educational Administration at ASU. I have two wonderful boys, Tyler and Tanner. So I definitely keep a busy schedule. I look forward to helping your child learn, challenge his/her thinking, develop a positive self-image and encourage your child to think of school as a positive component of his world.  If you would like to contact me via email my address is stacyc@autaugacountyschool.org
