Monday's Homework

There are spelling activities that will go home every Monday.  They are not due until Friday.  Last week, we practiced them all together.  You can use the completed one as a reference, and let me know if you still have questions about it.  Also, there should be a half sheet of paper in the take home folder, listing the words your child needs to study this week.  They are not the same for every child because they are based on Friday's test.  The words are fair game to be on any forthcoming spelling test.  5 words are new, and they are:
2nd- which, their, said, if, do
3rd- below, saw, something, thought, both

Math homework:
2nd- 18
3rd- 25

Have a great day!

It's so simple! Here's how it works:

• SELECT the books you'd like to order from over 500 titles available online...and take advantage of online-only specials and discounts.
• SEND your order to me online by the due date. Books will be delivered directly to our classroom, as always.

Of course, you can still order using the form from the printed flyer. But why not experience for yourself how convenient it is to order online?

Ordering online is fast, easy, and secure. Plus our whole class benefits thanks to the FREE books we'll earn with every parent online order.

Go to www.Scholastic.com/bookclubs now to get started.

Mini Economy

There are many benefits to using a mini economy in the classroom.  It covers several math and social studies standards, and it is a great incentive for positive behavior and work ethic.  Here is how it will work:

Daily Salary:  2nd graders will earn $1.00 for each day they come to school.  3rd graders will earn $1.50 per day.  Payday will be on Fridays.

Fines:  The students may be fined $0.25 each time they do not follow a procedure.  They will be fined $0.50 for forgetting homework or choosing not to do in class work.  They may be fined $0.25 for forgetting to put their names on a paper.

Bonuses:  If a child receives a Caught Being Christlike Award from any teacher, he or she will receive a bonus of $2.00.  On their birthdays, they receive a bonus of $5.00.  If they apply and are hired for a classroom job, they receive additional salary. 

Class store:  Each Friday, there will be a classroom store including items such as small toys, candy, or passes (no homework, comfy seat, chew gum, show and tell, etc.).  The students may spend their money or save it.

I accept donations from parents for items to use in the store.  You can get cheap toys or party favors from the dollar store that work great! 

Our year is off to a great start, and your children are all a joy to me :)

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend!
