Mrs. Quinto's Weekly Newsletter

Friday is the Feast Day of Saint Luke.  The school will be attending a prayer service in church beginning at 1:10  Please join us if you are able.

We have just about concluded Unit 1 in our reading program.  This week, second grade will be testing on the comprehension skills we have been working on since school began -- main idea, text evidence to support the idea, character traits and setting.  The test is quite long and will be given in small doses over several days this week.  I will also review the grammar lessons we have learned regarding sentence structure and the types of sentences for the separate grammar test for this unit that will also be given this week.  The writing project for the end of the unit will be completed in class and will involve your child composing a paragraph about a community helper.

THERE IS NO NEW SPELLING LIST FOR THIS WEEK !!   For our Fundations lesson this week, the class will identify base words and suffixes that can change the meaning of the word.

Chapter 2 test in math will be given on Tuesday.  Our next chapter will involve ordering numbers to 100 and breaking the numbers down into tens and ones.

In Religion, the class will learn a bit about each of the seven sacraments.  Please check your child's folder for the study guide for the test which I expect to give on Oct 22.

In order to guarantee delivery before Halloween, I will  be closing the Scholastic Book Order tonight.   Please visit our class page at should you wish to purchase

Parent Conference times are still available.  Please do not forget to sign up for a time to speak with me on October  30th and 31st

Thank you so very much for your continued support!

Enjoy the rest of your day
