Mrs. Burch's Weekly Update (10/2)

Happy Friday! Can you believe we're already through our 7th week of school?! Time is flying!! I just love your kiddos and so enjoy teaching them! We're rocking in 2nd grade so far!! :)


Fall Conferences will be virtual this year. You also have the option of a phone conference, if you prefer that instead of Zoom. Here's the sign-up link: https://tinyurl.com/buconf Please plan for one conference per child. Both parents should attend the same conference. 


Corrected Spelling Tests are being sent home today with your child. The only words that were "graded" were the five Word Preview Words from the beginning of the week. However, I did look over all the words on the test. These are all important second grade frequency words. Attached to the test is your child's Words To Learn. They are circled. These are the words he/she missed on the pretest (at the beginning of the year) and the test we took today. I will continue to add to the list each week and staple it to your child's test, so you have a current list of words they need to work on at home. Please go over the circled words with them. If a word is circled and starred, that means he/she has missed it more than once. Please extra practice those words! 


Homework Reminders:

*Nightly Fluency: Students need to be reading their fluency each night! They also need to do the questions on the back to receive full credit.

*Spelling Word Preview Words: Words are sent home Monday and will be tested each Friday.

*Seesaw homework activities: Each weeknight there is a seesaw activity students need to complete. Some will be graded and entered into PowerSchool. Some are just for practice.


Next Week:

Reading: Taking Charge of Reading (author's intentions, reading celebration)

Writing: Memories writing--final copies in Story Books, Bat research notes

Spelling: Blends (ch, th, wh, sh)

Math: Unit 2: Addition & Subtraction strategies

Science: Measuring and Mixing

Social Studies: Michigan Travel Brochures


Upcoming Dates:

*October 22 & 29-- Evening Elementary Conferences (sign up https://tinyurl.com/buconf)

*November 13--Half Day (dismissal 12:05 pm)

*November 25-27--Thanksgiving Break


Have a great weekend!! :)
