| WHAT’S NEW IN GRADE TWO?
October 6-10, 2008
Notes from the teacher:
Dear Parents and Students,
Pencil Grips: I am encouraging students to use pencil grips in class. The
grips help students hold the pencil correctly so they won’t experience as
much writing fatigue.
Math: We will take our test on addition, chapter 2, on Wednesday.
Library: The book report form was handed out in your student’s Thursday
envelope. This short activity will be due at the end of October.
Progress reports: Thursday progress reports will be handed out for all
students.
Science: Our science test will be on Friday. Please help your child master
the vocabulary and review “Earth Long Ago” pages B24-45.
Serving together in Christ,
Anne Marie Bevolden
