We are off to a great start with our Chromebooks! Last week we spent time learning how to take care of them and what digital citizenship is all about. We learned how to make a bookmark, downloaded Google Classroom and are learning how to find our way around on our 2nd grade blog. Students have their first real assignment this week on their Chromebooks. They are to go to Google Classroom, watch a video about communities and then make a comment about it. It is not a mandatory assignment. If you do not have internet access at home, your child will be given time to watch the video at school. We will continue learning about digital citizenship, how to use Google Classroom and learn about Epic Books this week. If time allows, we will learn about Study Island and take a short pre-math assessment.
This week we will be starting our small reading groups. I will be contacting parents of students who I feel will benefit from additional after-school tutoring in the next week or so. If your child read below a level 14 DRA you will be encouraged to enroll your child in tutoring. I will be posting DRA scores on Seesaw within the next week.
We will be planning a special tea party for Grandparent's Day on September 26th. Be sure to invite as many grandparents as you can. The students will do a short performance in the gym, then we will head into our classroom for tea and muffins.
We are still in need of another parent volunteer for our cow eyeball dissection activity on September 23rd. Please email me if you are interested in helping. aimeenoskowiak@nixaschools.net
Students have been asked to bring in one old sock to us as an eraser. We use our whiteboards everyday and we are in great need of erasers. So why not get out our old socks and recycle them for something good!
