What's Going On?

Mrs. Murdock

Parents, We have been very busy! We have some special surprises for our moms for Mother's Day. We have also been working on some special surprises for our graduation day. Please be sure and mark your calendar for this special day - June 3rd at 9:00. We are also working on our sight words and learning about word families in our reading groups. In math, we have been learning about number patterns - counting by 5's, 10's, etc. We are also practicing writing our numbers. We have been learning about insects in science. My dad, Lynn Barber, came and brought his beekeeper equipment and spoke about this fascinating insect. We are currently the proud owners of 6 african dwarf frog tadpoles. They were given to us by Bree and Fallon Baty. They woke up one morning to approximately 75 eggs in their frog habit. They are tiny but growing. Thanks Baty Girls!!! We still have lots to learn and we are very busy. Don't forget to study those sight words. We are trying to build STRONG first graders!!! A special thanks to all of our parents who brought treats for the teachers this week. We have had some amazing food. Thanks a bunch. Love ya, Mrs. Murdock

Things We Need

Welcome to Second Grade!!! If you haven't paid $1.00 for your child's homework folder(s), please do so ASAP.

Tips for Learning

Remember to read, read, read 15 minutes each evening! Ask your child's opinion about things. Encourage him/her to tell you how he/she came to this conclusion. The homework packet is a resource...if you are unable to do all of it, pick and choose the things your child needs practice in.

Mrs. Fuselier

We are renaming numbers like this: 92 9 tens and 2 ones 2 tens and 7 tens and 2 ones It's fun...have your child show you how to do it!!!

Mrs. Montgomery

My reading group is working very hard to improve decoding skills and fluency. Remember, fluency is the speed (not too slow, not to fast), intonation, and accuracy with which you read. Your child MUST read orally with you each night to improve his/her skills. Thank you for your help at home!!!

Mrs. Stanley

I think we have our class schedule down. We are loving PE, Spanish, Art, Music, Computer Lab, and going to the Library! Library books may come home for reading in the evening! Look for them. Also PIG books are coming home for evening reading. Enjoy!!!

Upcoming Activities

Don't forget to turn in your behavior notes, otherwise your child will miss Cougar Workout on Friday!!! School starts at 7:55...don't be tardy! Remember 5 tardies = 1 detention hall!!!!
