Lots of information!

There's a LOT happening this week! Our spelling test is this Friday (Nov. 8th) and here are our words:

birth     curb     curl     dirt     her     nurse     person     purse     serve     skirt     turn     turtle

Our challenge words are:  enough     challenge     embarrassed

In Math, we're studying addition and subtraction fact families (2 + 7 = 9 and 7 + 2 = 9. 9 - 7 = 2 and 9 - 2 = 7). We're also starting a money unit, so there's lot of information coming their way. Today we remembered that a penny is worth 1 cent and a nickel is worth 5 cents. Then we talked about dimes and quarters.

We start our Thanksgiving unit in Social Studies this week and will talk about the pilgrims' voyage here. In Science we did a fun rain experiment with shaving cream. For Religion, we will practice this week for Friday's second grade Mass service, and in Writing we're working on, "Our Favorite Fall Activity" and we're starting to edit our writings.

October reading logs are due by this Wednesday, Nov. 6th. Completed, signed and returned reading logs earn students a free pizza from Pizza Hut.

Student Council is sponsoring a school-wide non-perishable food drive from today through Nov. 18th. See today's flyer in your child's binder for more information.

Don't forget - there's a First Communion informational meeting this Wednesday night at 5:00 pm in the Day Chapel, and conferences start this Thursday evening. Let me know if you have any questions!
