Complimats and Valentines

Another Short Week

This week started off happy with a Super Bowl Win, Go Pats!! Then, we were all sad about the cancelled field trip.

Hopefully, our rescheduled trip for Tuesday February 10th will not be cancelled due to the next snowstorm headed our way.

This week we started a new unit in math.  We are practicing place value up to 1,000. Students have been learning to write numbers in standard form, expanded form, and number words.  Today we played a game called, "Roll it! Make it! Expand it!"  

More class coupons have been used this week too! Students have been switching seats, switching jobs, and bringing in items for show and tell.

Here are some photos from today's game and our show and tells.

Keep Em' Busy!

With all this snow and all of these snow days, I know it is hard to come up with things to do with your children. Please try to make books a part of your child's day.  This weather and lack of school could also evoke some great writing/drawing ideas.  Give them a pencil and some paper and see what happens!

There are many online activities to keep your child learning. Here are just a few that they have used in school and should be able to do independently.

• i-Ready-  Students can log in with their school account to practice reading skills such as spelling, vocabulary, and comprehension.  Login: Lasid # Password: BPS1 (Doesn't work on tablets. phones, iPads)
• Reflex Math- Help your child practice his or her basic math facts.  This can be done on the computer or a tablet.  They are very familiar with this app.  Login: bboucher  each student has a password that includes their initials and a 2-digit number.
• Vocabulary Spelling City-  This app helps students to practice spelling our Fundations trick words through fun, exciting games.  To log in, click on Teacher/Parent, username: fwgrade2, Password: reading

Hopefully we will be back to school Wednesday for our field trip!
