Parents, This
will be a short week with Wednesday off, but there is still a lot to
cover. This is a review week since we
are on chapter 10 in reading and it is the end of the second theme. I gave the children the first theme test and
I thought it was too long and involved for a second grader. I have broken the test down and we are
working on parts of it all week in grammar, phonics, and reading packets like
we always do. They will have a normal
reading comprehension test and spelling test on Friday. I think the test is a great review tool
broken down that way and they will get more out of it if we work on it together
in class than give them a huge test at the end of the week. I want them to LEARN the material and I don’t
think a test is a good LEARNING tool. In
class, in a positive atmosphere, they will gain (and hopefully retain) more of
what we are covering. This week is also the Harvest Festival and
Sheryl Dealy has been working so hard on pulling it all together. Please volunteer some time to work the booths
on Saturday and help us out. There is a bulletin board outside the office and a
sign-up sheet by the classroom. There is
also a sign-up sheet for the Mini Pow-Wow we are having on the 20th. You will be receiving official invitations to
that this week. I didn’t get to the Lures Prevention last
week but we will try to fit it in this week. Often we have time in the
afternoon, one afternoon last week I had them working right until 2:30. I know they were as tired as I was when that
day was over! As always you can
contact me at school or at home with any questions or concerns. Elaine Lemon Plans for week November 9-13 Reading Chapter 10 “A Trip to the Fire Station”,
