Parents,
Mark Your Calendar: Story Book Parade is coming up on Tuesday Oct. 31st. Students should have a matching book for their Story Book Costume. Props should be left at home. Please send in a change of clothes for your child. We are scheduled to visit Johns Creek High School for their production ofThe Selfish Giant on Thursday, November 16 from 11:30-1:30. Updates and Reminders: Homeroom Homework: Reading for 15 minutes and talking to your child about what they read. Do you want to review the items below at home? Brainpop, brainpopjr, safari montage, learn zillion, and youtube have an abundance of great videos on the topics below. For writing- just having them practice an example of what we are doing in class would be helpful review. In class they typically pick their own writing topic. What We’re Working On : Word Study: Possessive Nouns including Plural Possessive Nouns Examples: That is Leigha's hat. The penguins' home is covered in ice. Reading: Explain how specific images (e.g., a diagram showing how a machine works) contribute to and clarify a text and use information gained from illustrations (e.g., maps, photographs) and the words in a text to demonstrate understanding of the text (e.g., where, when, why, and how key events occur). Writing: How-To Writing- The students are working on writing sequential steps. They are writing a How-To about something simple they understand how to do. Social Studies: Georgia's First People- Creek and Cherokee Native Americans. We are also thinking about how their lives were lived in comparison to our own today. Test on Thursday. Study Guide is posted below. My Accelerated Math Class: How multiplication and division relate. We are working on fact families with multiplication and division. https://learnzillion.com/lesson_plans/8460-understand-multiplication-and-division-relationships Let me know if you have any questions!

Your child should be writing down their reading DAILY in their agenda. Students should be reading for 15 minutes and talking to an adult about the story. My homeroom class is working on a class incentive for working quietly. Once they earn all the letters in the word QUIET they will earn a prize. I will email and let you know their surprise when they earn all the letters. What We’re Working On : Word Study: Possessive Nouns including Plural Possessive Nouns Examples: That is Leigha's hat. The penguins' home is covered in ice. Reading: How parts of a book such as a title and pictures give us clues into what a book is about. Also, how to summarize and retell the plot of a story. Writing: Informational writing about the Creek and Cherokee Social Studies: Georgia's First People- Creek and Cherokee Native Americans. We are also thinking about how their lives were lived in comparison to our own today. My Accelerated Math Class: Division properties and strategies to help us understand division. Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for all you do, Ashley Bentley 2nd Grade Teacher State Bridge Crossing ES 770-497-3850 Story Book Parade will be so exciting. Things to remember:
Each student must be holding a book to match their costume. Props and masks need to stay at home. The students should have a clear view of where they are walking in the parade. Students are allowed (even encouraged) to change after the parade. Why? It will help us focus for the rest of the day. The kids won't dirty or rip their costume before the big night of trick-or-treating. Monday, October 23rd
