Back At It

     It was nice to be back this week after quite a long Thanksgiving break  I am feeling better each day and thank you for all the well wishes.  It's nice to be missed . Stone Soup was our mentor text for the week.  We compared three different version of the story and worked on making sentences "soup"-er by adding more details and proper capitalization and punctuation.  Ask your child to tell you about the stories. 

     We have been working hard on counting coins.  By now, your child should be able to count coins to $1.00.  Please practice at home if your student isn't there yet.

     For fun, students made gingerbread people.  They look very festive on our bulletin board.  We read Gingerbread Baby and The Gingerbread Man then compared and contrasted them.

     We are reading Ready Freddy Second Grade Rules as well.  Freddy is excited to go trick-or-treating with the new boy in school, Josh.  They have a great idea for their costumes.

     Next week, we will be performing in the Holiday Program.  I'm not going to lie, we are fantastic and will probably steal the show.  We practiced Holly, Jolly Christmas for the first time today and we nailed it.  The words to our songs were sent home to practice.  The show is Friday morning 9:00.
