This Week
This week we will begin Unit 5-Week 3
Bad Dog Dodger.
PLEASE make sure that your child comes to school
with a water bottle everyday. We are using a
Learning through Movement program so your child is
very active and will be needing to drink lots of water.
We have been learning about Nutrition this month
and I like to introduce the students to new foods. They have
tried kohlrabi and kiwis which were a new food for many of
them. If your family eats an unusual fruit or veggie and you
would like to send in some chopped (into bite size) pieces
then I will share them with the class.
I use the Everyday Math curriculum in the classroom.
Each child has a book of written activities that they do. The
pages stay in the book so they have a collection of math work.
Because of this, you wont see many math worksheets coming
home. You will receive the Math book when it has been completed by your child this week as we finish Volume 1 and move on to
Volume 2 (please note that not ALL pages were required to be
completed.) MobyMax is a program that is used to reinforce
skills and also to fill in the gaps , in other words opportunities
to learn that your child may have missed due to absences, family
travel or PCSing. Please see that your child completes their 10
minutes of MobyMax Monday through Thursday evenings. For
the next week please sit with them and see that they are actually reading the lessons. MobyMax is programmed to assign your
child concepts that they have not yet mastered. If your child
simply clicks through the lesson without reading and understanding it then they will not be able to progress through the program
and learn all the needed second grade skills.

Dismissal: School ends at 2:30. It is DoDDs policy that second graders are permitted to walk
home on their own. In your childs Take Home Folder you will have the opportunity to sign off
on how your child will be getting home daily. Once this has been established then you must send
in a note in the Take Home folder stating that the method for getting home on that day is different, if no note is received then the child will return home by the usual method. If you are going to
be late picking up your child, then the child will be waiting in the front office for you. You MUST
send a note if your child is to go home a different way than normal (including being released to an
adult other than yourself.)
