Mrs. McKermitt's Second Grade/Room 31

Welcome to Room 31!  Second grade is such an exciting grade to teach.  The chidren are anxious to make their First Holy Communion and they are becoming much more independent.  I look forward to a new year with new friends and can't wait to get back into a classroom routine.

Tuesday's Homework and Remninders (9-3-24)

Reading - Reread the Backpack Page, Sal’s Training Plan, a few times to practice fluency.

 

Spelling - Continue to study for the Spelling test that will be this Friday, the 6th. Words went home last week.

 

Math - Pages 9+10.  The first sheet of Flashcards are coming home today. These will be coming home weekly. Please cut these out carefully, place in a baggie, and practice daily. After practicing, please sign/date the signature sheet. The goal is to get faster and faster reciting the fact family on the back. I told the students it might be helpful to tape the signature sheet on the inside of the green folder so it doesn’t get lost.
