Welcome to Second Grade!
Dear Parents,
Please check the web portal for November news.
Field Trips:
*Hartford Bus Tour 11/10 *(bag lunch)
*Play at the University Of Hartford 3/19 $8.00
We will need to collect the money now to purchase the tickets for the spring.
There may be additional trips later in the year.
Parent Volunteers:
This year parent volunteers are needed for field trips, science theme days and math game days. There will not be a monthly volunteer calendar. Everyone who has signed up on the list will have an opportunity to help during the year.
Reading Logs:
I have asked the children to choose books for their reading homework that are not too easy or too hard. Choosing a book that is "just right" helps to build comprehension and fluency. Below are some guidelines for choosing a "just right" book that we have talked about in class.
1. As you read, hold up a finger if you don't know how to say a word. If you get to five fingers by the end of the first page, you should choose another book.
2. You can read the words smoothly with just a few bumps.
3. You can understand most of the story.
Important Reminders:
*Purple homework folders need to be returned to school everyday.
Have a great month!
Trish Berk
