Families,

We are underway in our learning and are starting to make some cool connections between our phonics, reading, and writing lessons! We also are looking forward to a spirit week. Take a look at what is ahead in 2nd grade:

Important Dates/Reminders:

• Spirit Week: Monday (comfy clothes), Tuesday (Hawaiian clothes), Wednesday (neon day), Thursday (destination shirts), Friday (eagle gear)
• Keep sharing the link for our class for Walk-a-Thon! As of right now we have less than half of our class registered (to register your child click the link here: https://www.getmovinfundhub.com/register?school_uuid=5d2e05bfcd92b). All of the money raised will go to support students at Alward and the class that raises the most will get $100 towards their classroom! Walk-a-Thon is scheduled for September 27th.
• Scholastic book orders are due today by 4:00pm! If you are interested in purchasing books, please place your order online using the class code NNX2P.
• Our library day is Monday, so please make sure your child brings their books back by Monday morning so they can check out new ones!

Reading: We will continue to look at how to solve tricky words, self-monitor during reading, and how to notice the details our authors use.

Writing: We will look at authors and try different craft moves we see in their stores (how to write in powerful ways and word choice).

Math: We will look at different types of story problems and how we can solve them!

Phonics: We will learn about “troublemaker words,” punctuation, and capitalization.

Have a great weekend!
