Mrs. Palermo's 2nd Grade Classroom

Greetings Families,

        This week we are reading Henry and Mudge and the Starry Night.  We will be talking about camping and constellations during reading, writing and science!   On Friday, we will have our first All School Meeting and our first field trip.  We are going to UMass to watch the Multibands performance at the Fine Arts Center.  It’s important that students understand that good behavior at school earns field trips, so if behavior is not appropriate this week, some students may not be invited to participate.

        There has been a lot of discussion about homework this year.  As a second grade, the teachers have decided that we expect students to read 4 times a week and practice math facts.  I will not collect a reading log this year, I will trust that your child is being honest and practicing reading and math facts at home.   

        We will switch specials on Thursday.  We will have P.E. so please make sure your child has sneakers.

This week’s focus words are as follows:

Spelling Words Consonant Blends Stop State strap Stream Ask mask Nest Breeze Brave Hand Twin Clip

Amazing Words Slimy Fascinating Detective Secure Fledglings Wildlife Tranquil galaxy

If you have any questions, please call the school, email me: alipal1@gpsk12.org or write me a note in the O.W.L. binder. 

All the Best,

Mrs.Palermo
