Throwback....Monday!?!

Look how cute!  These are some pictures on the class facebook page. I found pictures of some of the kids in our class from when they were in PreK! 
You can see more pictures through Facebook. Find Humphrey's Class and add us as a friend. Or just use the Facebook link on this blog. 

Checking BEE Binders

Checking your child's BEE binders on Mondays is extremely important. Please check the front pocket and sign and return any papers needed.
Any, graded papers should be thoughly checked and gone over with your child.  This will ensure that you are aware of the skills your child may need to work on, and also  that they understand what they may need to do on future assignments. 
I will also be doing these things at school, but you will have a one on one experience with your child that I won't be able to create in the school setting. 
Make sure you are also going over homework with your child. There is a part for you to sign on the weekly home worksheet, at the very bottom. Signing your name tells me that you have helped your child with their homework, read for the appropriate amount of time, and have completed all assignments. 
Thank you for helping me mold your child into the best second grader they can be. 

Volunteering

I am looking for a volunteer to help file papers on Mondays.  I am also looking for someone to pull small groups of kids to time their reading fluency, read with them, or listen to them read. If these are things you might be interested in, please send me a note or email. 

Solids, liquids and gases

Last week we did an experiment to see the changes in the states of matter. We watch water go from a solid to a liquid and then a gas. We also watched it go from a gas, back to a liquid. The kids really like to do experiments. I have one planes for this week too!  

Another thing they really liked was watching the Mercury inside the thermometer moving up and down depending on the temperature of the water. 

Conferences

Please make sure you have signed up for a conference. New conference sheets went home on Friday to show the most recent available time.
