You are invited to attend our 2nd Grade Information Writing Celebration on Tuesday 1/27 from 11:50-12:15.  You will have a chance to read your child's information writing as well as offer compliments to other students and their writing pieces.  It is a special time for the students to show off their hard work.  

Next week will be a school-wide spirit week for mental health awareness.  Students are invited to participate if they would like!

Linked here is a document with 300 high-frequency words students should be comfortable reading and spelling by the end of this school year.  They are good words to watch for and correct in any writing they might do at home.  An activity from time to time would be to have your child write down 10 of them and see how they do.

2/2/26 Read-a-Thon begins!

The reading log is to keep track of nightly reading at home and is part of the San Jose Sharks "Reading is Cool" program.  It is due back at the end of the month.  Remember, nightly reading can include independent reading, reading aloud, and listening to a grown-up read.  20 minutes each night is recommended.  Students may bring books home from school to read.  They can be both classroom and school library books  These books come home in a plastic zipper pouch.  Please help your children build the habit of keeping school books in the pouch when they are not being actively read.  This helps prevent mix-ups with public library books and personal book collections.
