Carter's Corner
Week of November 30 - Decmber 4, 2009
1. I would like to take this time to introduce Mrs. Laura Guinot, she will be
taking my place while I am out having my baby. She is a very nice, sweet, and
smart lady. I do believe that the students will do very well while I am out.
I will be returning in Feburary.
2. I would also like to thank you for sending the items in for the
Thanksgiving feast. We had a great time. The kids enjoyed everything.
3. If you need to set up a conference, please call the school or write a
note. I am available any morning at 8:10 and any afternoon at 4:00. Just
let me know when you can come.
4. Please continue to practice counting money at home with your child. Try
to let your child purchase small items at the store using coins, count groups
of coins, or show the same amount using different coins. Some students are
still having problems with this skill. It is very difficult for 2nd graders.
5. Continue to have your child read books for Reading Counts. This is very
important, and the students are doing very well.
These are the skills that we will focus on this week:
Reading: "The Alvin Ailey Kids: Dancing as a Team" Summarize
Math: Addition & Subtraction Patterns
Spelling: Consonant Diagraphs: th, ch, sh, tch
Language: The Verb Have
Social Studies: Holidays Around the World
Science: Sound
If you have questions or need help with anything please write a note or give
me a call at (985)892-0869.
