Dear Parents and Guardians, 

We had another great week of learning here in second grade! In math, we spent another day reviewing strategies that we learned so far before adding even more strategies into our math toolbox. We then began reviewing how to solve 1- step word problems, and how to solve 2-step word problems. 2-step word problems allow us to identify the two equations we need to solve to come up with a final answer. We also began solving two- digit addition facts by using models. This allows the students to actually see the number built using place value blocks, and allows them to double check their answers after adding by counting these place value blocks. In reading, we worked on identifying character traits of our characters in our independent reading books. We also learned what an inference was, and how we make them when reading. To practice making inferences, we completed an Ice Cream Inference Worksheet. Students also continued to work in small reading groups with me! Many of our small reading groups have finished our first book together, and we are working on a mini project that goes along with the books that they have read! In writing, we continued to learn about verbs, and identified them within our small moment story sentences. We are coming to the end of the first writing unit, so students have been very busy finishing stories and editing them both individually and with me, using their narrative writing checklist. Students have also picked a small moment story that they will make a final draft of, and that they will share with the class (if they choose to) for our writing celebration on Tuesday. We also wrote about our week in another page of our Nothing Books! In spelling, we continued to practice our spelling words with our spelling sorts and activities so we can begin memorizing how to spell these spelling words. On Tuesday, we will have our second spelling test, and will get our new spelling sorts when we return to school after Thanksgiving! In religion, we learned about the biblical stories of The Golden Calf, Moses’ Shining Face, The Tabernacle, and The Priesthood. In our second grade religion books, we also read and learned how Jesus leads us to his peace. Lastly, we read David and Goliath by Alice Davidson. In social studies, we continued learning about The Mayflower, and what happened to Pilgrims and Native Americans in the New World.

Parents:
I just wanted to say how thankful I am that you are all so helpful! I really appreciate it being a new teacher at Saint Paul’s! Nothing Books are going home today, so you can look and see what your students liked doing in our subject areas this week. Again, these come back to me on Monday so that I can hold on to them until we do another page the following week. I also sent home a paper modeling our 2-digit addition strategies. I hope this helps both you and our students because now, we are moving into strategies that require a lot of steps!  I have been asked by Coach, our health and P.E. teacher to have students remember to wear their winter apparel to school. He is trying to keep them outside and active as much as possible! Next week, I will not be doing newsletter due to it only being a 2-day week, I will also not be doing Nothing Books because of this as well. Lastly, I will also not be sending home a physical homework packet. However, I do want students to continue to read every night and try out some of the second grade resources I sent and that are on my webpage, like Math Playground. As always if you have any questions just send me an email and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Reminders:

• No School Wednesday, November 25th, Thursday, November 26th, and Friday, November 27th- Thanksgiving Break.
• As per the Archdiocesan Office of Evangelization, Education and Catechesis and (OEEC) and from the CT Office of Early Childhood Coronavirus Memo #29, as of September 21, 2020, masks will be required for all children, 3 years of age and older. 
• If you would like to send in money for your student to have a special treat, we will only be having special treats at lunch on Fridays. 

Dear Parents and Guardians, 

We had a nice full week of learning! In math, we learned how to break apart numbers into their 10’s and 1’s places to help us add. By doing this, it allows students to add the two numbers 10’s places first, and then the two 1’s place and combine both answers from the 10’s and 1’s places at the end to get a final answer. We also were introduced to the compensation strategy. This strategy is used to help make a two-digit equation more simple to add by placing a 0 or a 5 in one of the number's ones places. For example, in the equation 28 + 35, you could subtract two from 35, and add two to 28 to get a new equation of 30 + 33. Because we have learned so many strategies, our unit does a really great job of stopping and allowing students to practice the strategies taught thus far. In reading, we continued  to discuss what speech bubbles are, and how authors use them in their writing. We also learned about homographs! Students did a really great job with brainstorming homographs, and then identifying them in their books. We also began using Epic as one of our reading stations. This allows students to read across different platforms, allows them to answer questions at the end of texts, and also gets them used to our classroom Chromebooks. In writing,  we wrapped up learning about figurative language. We finished our last day of hyperboles, and then tried adding them to our small moment stories, when appropriate. On Tuesday, we wrote letters to veterans that will be sent out to California, and actually be given to veterans! We also learned about verbs, and identified them within our small moment story sentences. Lastly, we started something new called The Nothing Book! See the end of the newsletter to learn more about it! In spelling, we continued to practice our spelling words with our spelling sorts and activities so we can begin memorizing how to spell these spelling words. In religion, our youth minister Dan, came in and taught us a lesson on belief. We also learned how Jesus forgives us. We read about A People in Exile in our Bible Book and discussed the biblical story afterwards. Lastly, we learned about the biblical stories of Crossing the Red Sea, Manna and Quails, as well as The Ten Commandments. In science, we learned about reversible and irreversible change and performed an experiment with different items to see if the change that occurred was reversible or irreversible. In social studies, we learned all about Veterans Day and created a Veterans Day Fact Book. We also began learning about The Mayflower, and what happened to Pilgrims and Native Americans in the New World.

Parents:
Thank you for continuing to do all that you do for your students. It never goes unnoticed! I know I send you this newsletter weekly, but, I thought it would be nice to have your students write to you, and tell you about their favorite parts about their week themselves. This is why I am starting up The Nothing Book! The Nothing Book breaks down the students' subject areas, and allows them to write two- sentences about their favorite things that we did in each. These Nothing Books go home on a Friday for you to read, and then need to be returned to me on Monday so that I can hold on to them for them, and they will not get lost before the Friday of that week. We are definitely feeling comfortable back in school because we are beginning to get very chatty. I told the students that we need to remember to be respectful to both myself, and to other students when they are trying to share/ have a question. I have also been getting a lot of questions about homework, and I just wanted to let you all know that I always send homework home that will be taught that week. If not, I tell the students they do not need to do a specific page because we needed to spend more time on another area of math, and were not able to get to it that week. We spend two days on each of the strategies that I introduce to them in class for our math block. At the end of the day, if students have a specific homework question, we complete a problem from the worksheet together on the board so students have an example, if one is not already given, in their homework packet. I am not sure if these examples are not getting written down, but our students are in class each day learning these strategies, and are showing me in small groups/ individually that they know how to complete each strategy. As I stated in conferences, the more difficult strategies are coming, and I will be sending home examples of how to complete those problems.  I know as adults we do not like to see our students struggle, however, it is at this point in the year that students need to be doing their homework independently. Homework is a tool I use to see where a student is, and where I need to review/ give them more difficult work. 

Reminders:

• School Picture Make- Ups will be on Thursday, November 19th
• As per the Archdiocesan Office of Evangelization, Education and Catechesis and (OEEC) and from the CT Office of Early Childhood Coronavirus Memo #29, as of September 21, 2020, masks will be required for all children, 3 years of age and older.

Dear Parents and Guardians, 

What a busy week we had in second grade. Although it was a short week, we definitely got a lot of learning done! In math, we spent a lot of time learning how to add two -digit numbers on an open number line. We began by placing the bigger number in the equation on the left of the number line. We then had to identify our tens and ones places in our second addend so we knew how many 10’s and 1’s jumps to make. We then made those jumps, making sure they were labeled and that the answers to those jumps were labeled on the bottom portion of the number line. We also learned that it is very important to check our answers because sometimes, we can make mistakes. In reading, we continued to read in our small reading groups. We continued to discuss homonyms and homophones, and how they were similar and different. We also reviewed what a contraction was, and how two words are put together to make one. Lastly, we discussed what a speech bubble is, and how authors use them in their writing. In writing, we continued with learning about even more figurative language. This week we focused on personification, idioms, as well as hyperboles. We learned about each one, and then practiced making our own. Eventually, we began including them in our small moment stories (when appropriate). In spelling, we continued to practice our spelling words with our spelling sorts and activities so we can begin memorizing how to spell these spelling words. In religion, our youth minister Dan, came in and taught us a lesson on faith. We also continued to   learn how Jesus asks us to love in life. We also read The Story of Exodus by Alice Davidson and discussed the biblical story afterwards. Lastly, we learned about the biblical story of Moses and Aaron Meet Pharaoh and The Passover. In science, we read National Geographic Reader: Bats, and learned all about different types of bats, where they live, what they eat, and more! We also read a National Geographic Reader: Mummies. This book allowed us to look into the lives of different cultures and learn all about the ways that they celebrate their loved ones lives. 

I would also like to thank you all for enabling your students accounts on Epic! Our students have already read a total of 100 books and have earned our next “readerpillar” badge! Let's keep up the great work!

Reminders:

• Lyman Hall Pie delivery will begin on Monday, November 9th at 9:30 am in the SPC Hall.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Happy (almost) Halloween! We had another great week here in second grade! In math, we finished up practicing how to both identify the 10’s and 1’s places in two-digit numbers and write two-digit numbers in different forms. For example, for the number “72” students are able to describe how to write or build that number in standard form, base 10 form, expanded form, as well as written form. We also jumped into adding two-digit numbers! The first strategy we learned is adding  two-digit numbers on a hundreds chart. Students learned that they begin by circling the biggest number in the equation, moving down when making jumps of ten, and moving right to complete jumps of one. This allows students to familiarize themselves with the hundreds chart, and with adding by tens and ones places in a two-digit numbers. We also had a day full of Halloween themed math activities. We played an addition math game called Boo Bump, subtracted 10’s by completing Batty 10’s, Pumpkin Puzzlers where students added 10’s and 1’s to two-digit numbers, and Halloween Word Problems. In reading, we learned about homonyms, homophones, discussed how they were different, and continued with our small reading groups! For our Halloween themed day, we read Spookley the Square Pumpkin and Ghost in the House, and completed a Beginning, Middle, and End, Candy Corn Retell. In writing, we have continued with our writing unit of writing small moment stories. This week, we learned about figurative language, and added similes and metaphors into our small moment stories! For our Halloween theme, we wrote a small moment story about our favorite Halloween memory. In spelling, we continued to practice our spelling words with our spelling sorts and activities to prepare for our spelling test. On Thursday, we took our spelling test. On Friday, we got new spelling sorts! In religion, our youth minister Dan, came in and taught us about judgement and played a game to show us about how judgement works. We also learned how Jesus asks us to love in life. In addition, we also learned about the biblical story of Joseph's Brothers in Egypt and Joseph Meets his Brothers. In science, keeping with our Halloween theme, we learned about bats and discovered and described the inside and outside of a pumpkin. In social studies, we learned about how Halloween is celebrated around the world and learned about the history of Halloween.

Parents: I know a couple of students have already signed into our Epic Books Classroom Page. I am asking that every student enables their account. I am asking that each student does this because if we do end up going virtual at some point, I will be using Epic to assign students books for small reading groups. This website allows students to read a variety of books in different genres at their instructional reading levels. It also allows me to track their progress and also assign them specific books/ assignments that go with those books. Our class code is wev6279. I also included instructions on how to access the website and get into our classes page in a previous email. I have also included and posted this on our Google Classroom page and on our Second Grade Webpage on the St. Paul’s Website under Second Grade Resources. I sent home students login information, but if you need it again, I can send it to you via email. Thank you so much for your help in advance.
Reminders:

• Drive through Trunk O’ Treat today, Friday, October 30th from 7:00pm- 7:45pm, if cancelled due to weather, you are allowed to come drive by and grab a treat, or send in a photo of your carved pumpkin or decorated trunk.
• Grades 1-8 Mass on Monday, November 2nd, Dress Uniforms Required.
• No School Friday, November 6th due to professional development.

Dear Parents and Guardians, 

What a great full week of school! Our second graders were very busy learning this week! In math, we learned how to add with arrays. For example, if an equation is showing 4 + 4 + 4 = 12, we know our array has 3 rows with four dots in each row. We were also able to develop equations by looking at an array that was given to us. Before jumping into 2- digit addition and subtraction, our students were introduced to place value. We learned where the tens and ones places are in two- digit numbers. We also learned how to write the number in different forms. For example, for the number “42” students are able to describe how to write or build that number in standard form, base 10 form, expanded form, as well as written form. In reading, we began reading groups! Reading groups allow students to read a specific book with me, and discuss its contents in greater detail, and they allow me to check for understanding. In addition, we discussed onomatopoeia, and read The Onomatopoeia Adventure and completed an activity. We also discussed what it means to comprehend what we are reading, and learned strategies to help us check for understanding. In writing, we continued to edit our small moment stories both by themselves and with me. We made sure that we had at least three details in the middle of our story, and for each detail, we gave an example. We also discussed what it meant to paint a picture with words. One of the ways we did this was by including our five senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. In religion, our youth minister Dan, came in and had us write cards to new college students. We continued to talk about how we give love to others by discussing the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Commandments. In addition, we also learned about the Exodus biblical story. In science, we performed an experiment called How Strong Am I? In this experiment, we measured how many pennies a notecard, pipe cleaners, and a popsicle stick could hold before the item gave out. In social studies, we discussed El Dia de Los Muertos or The Day of the Dead. We discussed what the holiday is, when the holiday is, where it is celebrated, why it is celebrated, and also how it is celebrated. 

Reminders:

• The Lyman Pie & Cookie Dough fundraiser deadline was today, no more orders will be accepted.
• An outdoor Boo Bash (weather permitting) will take place on Friday, October 30th.
• Drive through Trunk O’ Treat will take place on Friday, October 30th from 7:00pm- 7:45pm.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Another week has come and gone! It was so nice meeting with you all either in person or virtually, and discussing our students! As always if you think of something we did not discuss in your students conference,  you can come chat at parent pick-up or send me an email anytime! 

In math this week, we started our brand new unit! The start of our unit begins with identifying even and odd numbers. We completed different activities to help us get the hang of this. Those activities were Even Steven and Odd Todd, Even and Odd Sort, Arctic Even and Odds, along with our workbook pages! In addition, with Halloween around the corner, we made Fact Family Haunted Houses to decorate our classroom with, and to get into the spooky spirit! In reading, we practiced reading rhymes and identified how rhymes worked. We also learned how to identify the sequence of our independent reading books by completing the S’mores Sequencing Worksheet. We have also been talking a lot about our characters, their traits, and evidence that supports these character traits. To help us organize our thoughts, we completed a character trait activity that asked us to choose two characters from our independent reading books, and use evidence from our books to describe why the traits we chose for them were accurate. Lastly, we began to learn about contractions, and what they are. In writing, we wrote goals for our different subject areas to present to you all at parent- teacher conferences. We wrote small moment stories about our favorite holiday memory, and our favorite family vacations. In spelling, we continued to practice our spelling sorts using different activities! In religion, we discussed the biblical stories titled: God tests Abraham, Isaac Marries Rebeka, Jacob and Esau, The Covenant, Jacob’s Dream, and Jacob Bargains with Laban. We also talked about how we give love to others by discussing the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Commandments. In science, we discussed a science experiment that we are going to test next week. 

Reminders:

• School Pictures will take place on Tuesday, October 20th. They are only individual pictures, no class pictures will be taken.
• The Lyman Pie & Cookie Dough fundraiser deadline has been extended until Friday, Oct. 23. 
• As per the Archdiocesan Office of Evangelization, Education and Catechesis and (OEEC) and from the CT Office of Early Childhood Coronavirus Memo #29, as of September 21, 2020, masks will be required for all children, 3 years of age and older.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We had such an amazing week, and got so much done! In math, we reviewed all the strategies we were taught for solving addition and subtraction problems and addition and subtraction word problems. We completed a review packet to get ready for our first math test. Lastly, we took our math test, and showed all we knew about solving these problems. In reading, we began reading groups and reading rotations. We discussed different types of punctuation, and how it should sound when reading. In addition, we discussed what typographical errors were, and strategies to help us correct them when reading. We also discussed what nouns were, and what pronouns were and discussed examples of those in our independent reading book and also our whole class model text, Mercy Watson to the Rescue. In writing, we learned how to write a strong ending to our small moment stories. We also learned how to stretch out sentences to add more detail which included who, what, when, where, and why. Lastly, we took out one of our finished small moment stories, and edited it using the “Think you’re done?” checklist. In spelling, we started spelling groups! In addition to Superkids word work and phonics, I divided students into different groups depending on the results of a spelling inventory test I had given a week or so ago. This allows students to learn and spell even more words, which gives them an advantage in both writing, and reading. Again, this is not in replace of the Superkids program, it’s in addition to. I will be sending home copies of those spelling words so students can share them with you, and also use them in different sentences to practice spelling those words and reading them back to you. In religion, our youth minister Dan came in and played a game that had students think whether they would keep something for themselves or give it away to benefit someone else. We also discussed the bible story The Family of Abraham in greater detail, along with learning about how Jesus shows us how to love others. Lastly, in science we learned about flexibility in different types of materials. We also designed our very own playground. The catch was, they could only have three structures on their playgrounds, and they had to design them using different materials that would benefit each structure. 

Reminders:

• No School on Monday 10/12
• Half Day on Wednesday 10/13 and Thursday 10/14 due to conferences. Students will begin getting dismissed at 12:15pm
• There is no lunch on half days, however students will have snack in the classroom
• Our Online Scholastic Book Fair is October 5th-11th
• As per the Archdiocesan Office of Evangelization, Education and Catechesis and (OEEC) and from the CT Office of Early Childhood Coronavirus Memo #29, as of September 21, 2020, masks will be required for all children, 3 years of age and older.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We were hard at work for our full week of learning! In math we learned how to solve addition and subtraction word problems. We did so by circling the numbers involved in the word problem, underlining the question, and boxing the words which gives us a hint as to whether it is addition or subtraction. We then solved those problems by using the addition and subtraction strategies taught previously. In reading, we finished learning about author’s lesson. We also talked about different reading strategies we could use if we come across tricky words. We began setting reading goals for ourselves as readers. By doing so, students were able to read until a certain point in their books, stop, and write down a thought about what was happening in their book, which helps them track if they are understanding what they are reading. In writing, we talked about how we can have strong beginnings in our small moment stories. In these beginnings, we needed a way to hook our readers. Some of the ways to do that were including dialogue, action, or onomatopoeia. We also discussed how the beginning sets the scene for our entire story. We learned that beginnings need to set the scene, and also introduced our characters. Lastly, we talked about the middle of our small moment stories and what they should include. One of the main things we talked about was linking events and how to do that. The way we learned how to do that was using transition words! In religion, Dan, our youth minister visited us again and read us The Giving Tree. We also read and discussed the bible stories of Cain and Abel as well and Noah and the Great Flood. In science, we discussed what it means for an item to be absorbent and performed a science experiment! This experiment tested which item: wax paper, paper towel, or a sponge was the most absorbent.

I just wanted to let you all know that we are wrapping up our first math unit and will have our first math test on Friday 10/9. We will complete a review packet together on Thursday 10/8 and I will also send it home with them that night. In addition, next week's homework packet will also be review from the unit so students can practice all of the strategies that they have learned. I have also been getting questions about work getting handed back to students. I have a finished work basket in our classroom and when students are done with work it goes in there. I correct all of that work and put it in their mailboxes on Mondays for students to take home. I also have a homework basket where students put their finished homework. I have been noticing that not everyone is turning in their homework. I am not sure if it is because students are forgetting to put it in the basket from their home folders, or if they are leaving it at home. I just wanted to make you aware of this incase corrected work was not making it back to you/ you were not receiving corrected homework.

Reminders:

• Our Online Scholastic Book Fair is October 5th-11th
• Rosary Procession will take place on October 6th
• As per the Archdiocesan Office of Evangelization, Education and Catechesis and (OEEC) and from the CT Office of Early Childhood Coronavirus Memo #29, as of September 21, 2020, masks will be required for all children, 3 years of age and older.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We had another great week in second grade! I hope you are all enjoying your day off! In math, we continued working on strategies to solve our subtraction equations. Some of those strategies were counting on, and counting back on an open number line, as well as using addition strategies to help us subtract. This included using our doubles facts (7 +7 = 14), and near doubles facts (7 + 8 = 15) to help us check and solve our subtraction equations. For example, we know that 7 + 8 = 15, so 15 - 7 = 8. In reading, we wrapped up testing and picked out our “just right books” from our classroom library! We also learned how to take a “sneak peek” at our new independent reading books. In addition, we learned what an author's lesson was, and what it included. For example, characters, setting, problem, events, and the solution/ ending to the book or chapter. In writing, we began writing one time, one place stories! This means that everytime we write, we will be discussing a certain place and time that something took place.  We also brainstormed a list of emotions, and brainstormed times that we felt those emotions, so that we could eventually write stories about that time, and the emotions we felt in that moment. We have also been working on our handwriting for the past couple of weeks, and I must say, it is improving! We were once again visited by our youth minister on Monday who combined religion and science! In religion, we also dove deeper into the seven days of creation and into the biblical story of Adam and Eve. In science, we compared and contrasted different objects based upon their properties. We then wrote about why these items properties were different, and what made them that way. 

Reminders:

• October 2nd (This Friday) will be our next whole school Mass.
• As per the Archdiocesan Office of Evangelization, Education and Catechesis and (OEEC) and from the CT Office of Early Childhood Coronavirus Memo #29, as of September 21, 2020, masks will be required for all children, 3 years of age and older.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We had another busy week of learning! In math, we wrapped up learning our addition strategies and moved on to subtraction. We began by learning how to solve subtraction problems using a ten frame. We also learned how to count back to subtract on an open number line. It is extremely important to double check our answers, so we learned how to use addition to help us do that! In reading, we finished up our Goodbye Summer packet, which taught us all about long and short vowels, vowel teams, silent e, as well as ed and ing word endings. We began DRA testing so that next week, we can pick out our classroom library books and apply our reading lessons to what we are reading independently. In writing, we created a web describing what is important about our second grade class. Once we brainstormed, we picked a topic, and wrote four reasons with examples, that supported our topic. We then took all of that information, and wrote a final copy. In religion, we welcomed a youth minister into our classroom, who will be with us and work with us on Mondays. We also learned about God’s creation and the story of Adam and Eve. In science, we described what a property is, and how to describe them. We went through and discussed how color, flexibility, texture, help describe the properties of objects. We brainstormed words that would help us describe objects for our experiment the following day, which was looking at different objects and describing them based upon their properties. 

I just wanted to give you all an update on my health because of my absence on Tuesday. I was out due to a sinus infection, however, I was tested for COVID and it came back negative. I am very cautious throughout the day with our students, and would never return to school without a negative COVID test. Your students' health, as well as the health of other staff members, friends, and family, are always priority. 

With that being said, I know the changing of the season brings allergies and colds back. I appreciate you all being so cautious and keeping students home if they are not feeling well. Unfortunately, if a child is home sick, I cannot admit them on to Zoom for the day. Although we do have a student who is learning remotely, the work and link for Zoom is being sent to that student in advance. If your student is going to be out for a period of time, I can put together the work they have missed, however, if they are out for a day, the work that they have missed is in their mailbox, and they have many opportunities to work on it/ complete it during catch up time throughout the day. Thank you for your understanding in advance. 

Reminders:

• As per the Archdiocesan Office of Evangelization, Education and Catechesis and (OEEC) and from the CT Office of Early Childhood Coronavirus Memo #29, as of September 21, 2020, masks will be required for all children, 3 years of age and older. 
• Yellow Dress Down passes from last school year expired today. If a student brings one to school, they will not be accepted, and their uniform will have to be dropped off for them to change into. 
• There will be no school on Friday, September 25th due to professional development for teachers.
• If you would like to send in money for your student to have a special treat, we will only be having special treats at lunch on Fridays. 

Have a great weekend,
