This week, we are not moving on to the week 5 in Wonders. We will be practicing how to take a wonder’s assessment, and working on some of our writing skills. Particularly, how to stretch a sentence. Because of this, we will not have a traditional spelling list. We will be practicing writing our name, address, phone number and birthday. These are necessary skills to have, and will continue to practice them throughout the year.

I will send home some practice sheets throughout the week. There is no need to send these back to school. They are simply for your child to practice throughout the week. It can be fun to practice these skills by writing a letter to a family member or a favorite author.

First, I’d like to say that I’m proud of our second graders, and all the staff and students at NBCS. It was impressive to see an entire school evacuate in a systematic manner. Our class did a nice job with both portions of the drill. We will continue to work on remaining still during lock downs, and not making any noise. Overall, everyone did a nice job with this drill.
