Donuts for Dads!

We are excited to have donuts and breakfast tacos with our dads this week!  This special time will be on Friday from 7:30-8:30.  We will eat breakfast and enjoy having our dads with us.
Thank you for your patience last week.  Our week did not go as planned!   I spent most of the week at home caring for my little girl, Lila.  She had a rough time with a stomach virus but is feeling much better now.

Last week, your child completed a final project on Mr. Popper's Penguins.  The projects are well done and are hanging on the Second Grade Stars board outside of Mrs. Jeter's office.   Please drop by and check them out!

 This week we will begin The Mouse and the Motorcycle.  I think the children will love it!



Tomorrow, we will take our spelling test that was planned for Friday.  Your child will also bring home a new spelling list.  The next test on Lesson 11 will be on Thursday January 31st.

Happy New Year!


I hope you had a restful break with your family. 

I am looking forward to a wonderful semester in second grade at CCS.

This week:
  • We will finish reading Mr. Popper's Penguins and begin working on the final book project.
  • The children will discover more about Ancient Egypt and begin a hieroglyphics project.
  • Report cards will go home.  Please sign and return.
  • We will review cursive letters Aa-Ii and learn to write the cursive letter Jj. 

I have altered our class schedule to make more time for the Saxon Math Morning Meetings.  I recognize the importance of these meetings as a part of our math program.  Our previous schedule did not allocate enough time for us to complete the meetings on a regular basis. I will send a copy of our new schedule home this week.

I will see you on Monday!

Mrs. Smith
