We had our first doubles test today! Thank you so much for studying those doubles facts! Congratulations to the 16 students who completed their doubles facts today! They will move on to doubles + 1 in 2 minutes. Thank you for working hard and practicing your facts at home. Good luck! Keep practicing!
Picture day is September 22. Please return your photo orders before or on Monday the 22nd. Thanks. You can also order online.
Mustang March is our Fall Fundraiser at Olson. Please go out and get those pledges! This is a great week for us to show our school spirit, encourage physical fitness, and show our support for Olson!
We continue to practice integrity, respect, being a good citizen, and responsibility in 2nd grade. Please keep working hard to complete the homework. Required reading in 2nd grade is 20 minutes a night. Please be reading to your child or have your child be reading at least 20 minutes. Once I have read with your child in class, he/she will be assigned a good fit reading level to check out classroom books for at-home and in-class reading.
Some topics of discussion for the weekend for earning 5 horseshoes: Please ask your child about Sam. What is schema? Name an appropriate and an inappropriate behavior at school. Please write your comments on the blog for 5 horseshoes on Monday! We will share the ideas on Monday.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend! Go out and show integrity wherever you go!

Happy Wednesday!
The spelling and vocabulary test will be next week on Friday. There are 20 words but the students are only tested on 15 of them. Please practice these spelling patterns and chunks nightly!
Poetry binders will be going home on Friday with a poem about being responsible. It is a funny rhyming poem. Hopefully, you and your child can talk about the ways they help out at home and create some new chores or ways they can help out to show responsibility at home. I learned a lot about the children through this poem. There are some who have lots of chores and some who have none!
Doing a great job with homework responsibilities. Keep up the good work!
There will be a sign language club offered for 2nd-3rd graders on Tuesdays after school at Olson. There is only room for 20 children so if you're interested please return the sheet tomorrow!
The Character Key we are working on for the month of September is "Integrity." We are challenged with showing integrity everywhere we go. We have several opportunities throughout the day to show integrity. No matter where, no matter what, and no matter who is watching! Show integrity!
Thank you for the volunteers who have been coming in to help. I appreciate your time and commitment to our classroom! Next week we will be MAP testing from 8-10:30 Wednesday, 8-9:30 Thursday, and 8-9:30 Friday. If this is your regularly scheduled volunteer time, Ms. Salas will gladly have you help her during this time with reading with the kids!
In math we are working on even and odd numbers, adding doubles, and doubles plus one. Please practice these at home!!
Have a great rest of the week!
