Parents and followers of this blog,
Please note that this weeks words will be tested...next year! lol
Actually because of all the activities this week and the short week when we get back this will work out great!
Thursday: School party at 1:30 pm. Don't forget the 3.00 donation so we can purchase chicken nuggets for the kids and nachos...yum yum....
Also kids are to bring their own sodas (cans are best) for themselves. (easier to clean up)
If you want to donate anything for the party, please account for 21 students.
Don't forget the gift exchange is a calculator from the dollar store....please gift wrap.
Friday: Kids will be cleaning the room then watching cartoons in the p.m. after P.E.
Check the homework sheet: we will have homework till Wednesday.
Thursday and Friday will be no homework because it will be done in class. (as time permits)
Finally caught up with the spelling list that I started last year with Spelling City, even though they are not complete list like this year (lacking HF and Vocabulary List) It's good to have most of the words on line now.
If you haven't check out the reader on line, please check it out: Texas Journeys

Reading Book Information
Parents and Readers of this blog:
I have found some additional resources for your student to help with their reading the daily story.
Texas Journeys https://www-k6.thinkcentral.com/content/hsp/reading/journeys/tx/gr2/ese_9780547355313_/Volume1/launch.html#
It is interactive and very useful. I would use it to preview the story, then have your child read what he or she just listened to.
I plan to research a bit more into this site since it seems it was established by the publisher but for some reason this information did not reach SAISD. I would like our own site with links to useful locations.
Give it a try and tell me what you think.
As always: Parents you are the best,

2nd Grade Adventure!
Parents and Readers of this Blog:
This afternoon the refinery down the street decides to up and catch on fire again. I had just taken our 2nd graders to Music class and was talking to the counselor when I heard the news of the fire. I decided that we probably were going to go to "lock down" (lock doors and move kids to a hidden spot in the classroom) but, by the time I passed the 1st grade wing the intercom called out "Lock down, lock down, lock down!" So I spent the next hour and 45 minutes with Ms Shove's 1st grade class. My class stayed with the music teacher till 2:45pm . Our kids were in very good hands and as soon it was time, I picked them up and lined them up to leave. We did not have a chance to go to computer lab and so we are going to have our pop quiz on spelling tomorrow and I plan to emphasize practicing our definitions for Friday's test day.....
I have to admit our class behaved outstandingly during this time and I am very proud to be their teacher.....
