We had a great week in Math.  We compared numbers up to 100, wrote number words to 100 and used place value blocks tens and ones to make numbers to 100. This week we also looked and wrote about vertical, horizontal and diagonal. We used these words to navigate the patterns on a hundreds chart.

News from Mrs. Rowlett's Reading Class

We had a great week in our Language arts class.  We continued to build stamina in read to self and writing.  The second graders got new spiral notebooks for their journals and wrote in them during our writing Daily 5 rotation.  We learned all about 5 star sentences.  We also introduced read with someone and the students enjoyed sharing great books with a friend. 

This week we will continue with our Daily 5 rotations, Listen to reading will be introduced and soon to follow will be work on words.  Your child will be bringing home a book to read in their binders this book is from our Strategy reading groups or book club.  Please make sure to include this book in their 20 minutes of reading each night.  

Have a great week!

Mrs. Rowlett

Reading with Mrs. Rowlett Week of 8/24 -8/27

 Hello 2nd Grade Families

We had a fabulous first week of school!  I enjoyed working with second graders. This last week in reading the 2nd graders worked on reviewing the Secret Phonic Stories by looking at the secrets in our names.  We also began Daily 5 and built stamina with read to self.  The 2nd graders did a great job and were able to read for 10+ minutes. The 2nd Daily 5 component that was introduced was Work on Writing.  Each student has their own journal to write in.

This week we will continue to look at our names for our Secret Story review, build stamina in Read to self and Work on Writing, and introduce Read with Someone.  Students will begin to choose the Daily 5 component they would like to work on.

Homework for this week should include 20 minutes of reading a book of your child's choice.  They may also borrow books from our class or Ms. Garcia's class.  We will begin guided reading groups next week and will send books home then.  If you have any questions or concerns please contact me my email is jrowlett@oasisacademyfallon.us.

Looking forward to another great week!
Mrs. Rowlett

Students will only have math homework from their WORKBOOK this Wednesday and Thursday.  There will be NO IXL this week.

Dear 2nd Grade Families,

Tomorrow is the Big Day, the first day of 2nd grade!  I am VERY excited and can't wait for the day to start.  I wanted to let you know that tomorrow your child will need two snacks.  Students will eat their 1st snack during morning recess at 9:35 and due to the longer day we will also have an afternoon snack.  Since our classroom is designated as a FOOD free classroom due to severe allergies, we will either eat in the lunchroom or outside.

Please get your kiddos to bed early tonight!  The first few weeks are long and tiring due to the adjustment of 2 extra hours per day.  We will ALL be exhausted!

Looking forward to the first day,
Miss Garcia

Hello 2nd Grade Families,

I would like to invite you and your 2nd grader in on Wednesday, August 12th between 2-4 p.m.  Your child can come in and see their classroom as well as choose their seat for the 1st day of school! This visit will also ease first day jitters...

Back to School Night is an informational evening for Parents ONLY.  Please make other arrangements for your children.

See you Wednesday!
Miss Garcia
