Next week we will be taking school pictures! The all school picture will be at 8:30 on Monday, October 3rd. Please arrive to school promptly so your child won't miss it! The 2nd grade class will begin taking their class photo and individual photos at 11:15 on the same day. Makeup photos are scheduled for Wednesday, October 5th.
This week in ELA we are learning to describe connections between steps and use sequencing words (first, next, then, last, finally, etc...) in our writing. We are also learning about adjectives (words that describe a noun. Ex- cozy, warm, fuzzy). In Math we are learning to add using arrays. In Science we are learning about the Earth. In Social Studies we are learning about different types of sources and how to evaluate and use them. In Health we are talking about Food Groups. Our Rooted in Reading book this week is The Salamander Room by Anne Mazer. We will be working on all sorts of reading, writing, grammar, and art activities around this story as well as learning a bit about Salamanders!

Writing Assignment
This week’s writing prompt is: “If you could have any pet, what would you pick and why?”. Please have your child write 3-5 sentences and use their best handwriting on lined paper. Thank you.
In closing, I'd also like to remind you that students should be appropriately dressed for the weather and that ALL students need to have a water bottle to keep at school as we do not have cups to offer them should they be thirsty. If your child needs sunscreen, please apply it before they come to school. Thanks so much!
Have a great week!
