WEEK OF OCTOBER 26, 2009 2ND GRADE LESSON PLANS FOR READING AND LANGUAGE ARTS

REMINDERS:
1. Please remember to cover all soft-covered books. Some children still have none of their Reading or Language Arts books covered.
2. Remember to read the purple assignment book and check the HW folder each night to know your child's homework for each day.
3. Your child needs to remember to bring all of their school supplies every day. Many children are coming to class with no pencils or looseleaf.
4. Please check the school blog every day for HW updates and information. It is impossible for the children to copy down everything so please make it a priority to check the blog. Please remember to click under Mrs. Larios, the week and 2nd Grade.
5. Remember that HW counts as a grade and many children are not completing it. Check your child’s Reading and Language Arts NB every day to see if I have written you a note.
