Week of Sept. 19, 2011

Last week we completed our first five day week!  We made it!  Our second graders were DIBELS tested, and we met with our Math Intervention Groups on Friday.  We took our first spelling test as second graders, and your child should be bringing home that graded test on Monday, Sept. 19th.  Speaking of spelling, the focus last week was on short vowel words, and this week's focus is long vowel words with a silent "e".  They are as follows:  page, nose, space, size, fine, mice, late, huge, blaze, race, rice, and vote.  The first book order was sent on Thursday, Sept. 15th, in your child's blue homework folder.  I then sent another piece of information on Friday in your child's blue homework folder.  I apologize for not sending it with the actual book order, but I was having difficulty getting our class activation code for online book orders, due to the fact that there is another "Judy Varney" who teaches in New Mexico!  I finally contacted Scholastic by phone, and they helped me with our class activation code.  Additional catalogs are online, so you do have more options other than the paper order form I sent.  If you do order online, our class will receive a $3.00 coupon for a free book!  It's perfectly fine for you to order using the form I sent, so no worries.  It's your choice if you decide to take advantage of purchasing books from Scholastic.  It's just something that is made available to you and is certainly not mandatory.  We have a Market Day Fundraiser kickoff on Monday afternoon in the gym.  This is the main fundraiser for PTA this year.  I hope all is going well with your second grader.  They are a great group of children!

Signing off until next week,
Judy Varney
