August 30th- Sept. 3rd

- Book orders for this month are due Friday, September 10th. There are two ways to order. The easiest way to order is online. There is a link on the right side of this blog. The other way to order is to return the book order form with a check/cash to school with your child. Remember book orders are optional but are a great way to build your home library. There are a lot of quality books at a great price.

-Homework Update: As you might have noticed we have updated our 2nd grade homework policy. Homework should only take about 25 minutes to complete each night. Your child will be expected to read 20 minutes each evening along with a short math assignment. Spelling words will be on the back of the homework tracker so you know what words will be on the weekly spelling test.

Upcoming Dates:

-Friday, September 3rd is a half day of school. We will dismiss at noon.
-Monday, September 6th is Labor day. No School!
