Classroom Update

Dear Second Grade Parents,
   Well, with ITBS Testing officially over, things are slowly getting back to "normal".  Today, the class and I began putting together our science project, "From Seed to Plant".  We are going to watch two types of seeds grow in clear plastic cups so that we may observe first hand the growing process.  It should be fun.  I promise to keep you updated.
   That is all for now. Be sure to send in your child's Zoo permission slip if you have not already done so.  Thank you for all you do.  Take care and God bless.
Sincerely,
Eileen Sepulveda

Happy Wednesday!

Dear Second Grade Parents,        
         Well, we are into day 3 of ITBS Testing and so far so good.  The children are plugging along and working hard.  With that being said, I am keeping our daily classwork and homework light. For example, yesterday we talked about the parts of speech and completed two Halloween Mad Libs for extra practice.  The children had a lot of fun with those.  You could hear the laughing from down the hall.  I will send one home so that you too are able to enjoy the fun... aaaaaahhhh good times!!!!
     Just a quick reminder, progress reports will go home this Friday for second grade.  Please check to make sure any make-up work still to be completed comes in to me as soon as possible.  Report cards come out next month and I would like to make sure the children have all the possible opportunities to have a strong 1st Quarter.  Thank you for your help in this matter. :)

Have a fantastic day and Thank you for all you do. God bless!
Sincerely,
Eileen Sepulveda

Second Grade Has a Blog!!

Dear Second Grade Parents,
       We now have a blog page in which to communicate!!!!  This is where I hope to keep you updated with all of the latest and greatest second grade news.  It is my goal to update the blog page each day so, be sure to check in to see what is happening in second grade.

    Please notice that I included a homework section on the side for this week only.  I still want the students to learn how to write down their daily homework assignments so next year when they transition to assignment books, it will hopefully be an easy process.
  
    There will not be a spelling test this week.  This means there will be no spelling homework as well.  The homework this week will be minimal due to ITBS Testing. 

    I am still missing deposits for our field trip to see the Grinch.  Please turn your deposit in if you have not done so already.  Thank you!

I hope all of you have a terrific week.  Take care and God Bless!

Sincerely,

ITBS Testing!

Dear Second Grade Parents,
    I hope you all had a fantastic and restful weekend.  Here is just a quick update for the start of our week.
    This week the class will begin ITBS Testing.  Please make every effort to have your child here each day as make-up tests can be difficult.  Thank you for your help in this matter. 
   I do anticipate this week will be a bit different due to testing. For example, there will be no spelling test this Friday.  Therefore, there will NOT be any spelling homework as well!!  I will let you know as the changes for this week come up.  Thank you for all you do!
Sincerely,
