Spelling Words

There are no spelling words for the week of September 24-28 because of Parent Teacher Conferences.

Egg Cartons!

We need egg cartons!  We'll be using them next week for our science unit.  If you have some, please send them to school with your child.  Thanks!

Behavior Log

Second graders do not have a behavior log like many of them did in first grade.  However, if you check the homework log, you will see an O, S, or N each day for your child's behavior.  If you have questions about this, please let me know. 

O= outstanding      S= satisfactory      N= needs to improve

Homework Tracker

In your child's homework folder you will find a homework tracker.  Each week they complete all their homework, they get a sticker.  Please check each Monday to make sure they have a sticker for the previous week.  If they don't and you believe they did all their homework, please email me.   

Thanks for helping your child complete their work at home!  I appreciate your support.

Read-a-Thon

Thanks so much for encouraging your child to read.  Thanks for helping them record their minutes and get it back to school each day. 

Please help your second grader read as much as you can over the weekend.  The other Nibley schools are beating Thomas Edison.  Yikes!  We would love to see a lot of minutes read over the long weekend.  

Thanks again for your support!     

Poetry

 Your child took his/her poems home last week and should be working on memorizing one.  The poems will be presented in class on Tuesday, September 25.  In order to earn 100% your child needs to do the poem with actions, bring a prop, or share his/her favorite line. 

Swinging

I start my swing very soft and slow,

With just enough push to make it go

Then I hurry it up, till I'm going so fast

That the leaves on the trees go rushing past.

I swoop down low, so close to the ground

That I see the June bugs crawling around,

And then so high, so far, and so free

That even the east wind can't catch me.

~Marchette G. Chute

The Rhinoceros

The Rhino is a homely beast,

For human eyes he's not a feast,

But you and I will never know

Why Nature chose to make him so

Farewell, farewell, you old rhinoceros,

I'll stare at something less prepoceros.

~Ogden Nash

An Autumn Riddle

They are seen on the trees,

They are seen on the ground.

They are seen in the air,

Whirling softly around;

They sing rustling songs

As our footsteps they hear,

And their name is well known,

For they come every year.

~Anonymous
