We have loved teaching your children this week. They are all wonderful and we hope they are happy as well.

This week there will be no spelling because Mrs.Adams has a Chinese meeting on Friday, August 5th. I will need to be at school to train our classes and our 5th grade buddy class. We will start spelling the week of August 8th. The handwriting page will be in pace of comprehension this week.

Mrs. Craven will be out all next week for Chinese training. There is a wonderful Chinese substitute coming in for the week. Please address any questions for both classes to Mrs. Adams.

We are trying hard to monitor drinks and bathroom breaks. Please remember to send your child with a full water bottle. We are not providing them. Ice is discouraged because it melts and papers are getting wet. You could fill the bottle at night and keep it in the refrigerator during the night so it will be cold. Please have your child use the rest room before they come to school.

In the Monday folder will be the August volunteer calendar for both classes. For the week of August 1-5, Mrs. Craven's volunteers please report to Mrs. Adams room. There are still several openings  for volunteers. Please email or call Mrs. Adams if you can volunteer for another time. She has both calendars in her room if you would like to come check.

 We would like to let you know about a Chinese Website that is a wonderful. It costs $40 and there needs to be at least twenty students from second grade to even get the website. Students who have used it before have greatly benefited. Please email Mrs. Craven if you are interested. We need to get an idea of how many might want to do this.

Mrs. Adams is in the process of assessing both classes in reading. She will know their reading level by the time we go off track. If you are interested in borrowing some of her books to read with your child on their level while we are off track please email her or better yet come in and get some books. This would be beneficial so that your child stays on the same reading during the break. 

As always please contact us if you have any questions.

Welcome to Second Grade

We are excited to be teaching your children this year. We will not be using planners, so information will come from homework folders, this blog, and email.

We will try to send all notes and information in the homework folder on Monday. We will update our blog every Friday with infomation for the coming week. We will send an email during the week with any information that cannot wait until Friday or Monday.

Please feel free to email either of us at marcy.adams@jordan.k12.ut.us or janet.craven@jordan.k12.ut.us.

Thank you!
Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Craven
