Notes from Mrs. Kitchen:

                  We have finished our first unit in Math and are preparing for our final test. In Language Arts we have been working hard on filling out graphic organizers to write Halloween Stories and we are taking our unit 1 test.  There are no spelling or vocabulary words this week because of the end of unit review. In Social Studies we are trying to finish up our study of United States, so we can have our feast of ‘Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Lemonade.” We are also starting our first Science unit- “Observable Things in the Night Sky”. Each child will get a chance to bring the Moon Bag home and when they bring the Moon Bag home they need to look at the night sky and draw what they see. We hope they see the moon! It is important that you send the Moon Bag back to school the next day so every child gets a chance to take it home. I am looking forward to visiting with each of you at Parents Day. Please sign up for a time on the school web page.  We have had another great week.

The students are doing a fantastic job!  Remember to read on Raz-Kids. I have been tracking their minutes read and quizzes. I also can tell what questions they are having a hard time understanding. Homework is due on MONDAY signed by a parent. Remember if you want a reading button from Mrs. Chaves you will need to fill out the blue slip of paper and turn it in before the end of the month. Our class has integrity because each student has a desire to learn and do their best. It is so fun being their teacher!

The spelling test were so impressive. The students came up with their own short vowel sounds with consonant clusters.  We finished talking about our community by drawing a map of American Fork and reading about different communities in the world.

Sept. 9th

Wow! I have never had a class pass off Fry Phrases and math drills so quickly.  Amazing respectful students. I am so proud of them.

Sept 2

The students are doing super. So impressed with how they are passing their math drills and Fry Phrases. Have a great Labor Day weekend.

Aug 26th

We had a fabulous week. We made cookies and each student is designing a place mat that represents themselves. We wrote poems on how to have a great year. Some of the words we talked about and promise to do are- RESPECTFUL, SAFE, RESPONSIBLE and COURAGE.

April 1

        We are getting ready for our DRA Test and Writing Evaluations.      We will be starting a weather unit in Science and studying our last continent “South America” in Social Studies. We are studying 3-digit addition and dabbling in geometry in Math. 

         We would like to invite parents to stop by our classroom on Tuesday April 11^th from 12:20-1:00 PM (During our lunch time) to see our habitats and to ask us questions about them. We will be eating lunch in our classroom and have invited our parents and other 2^nd graders to come in and ask us questions. The students will be taking their habitats home this day. If your child walks home from school you may want to make arrangements to pick your child up this day because their habitats will not fit in their backpacks and most of them have hair gel and are very fragile.
