Happy LOOOONG Weekend!

Conferences have been a pleasure! I really enjoy getting to spend this time with each of your families and get to know the other side of these children. They are so precious, and I am thankful I get to spend the day with them. Thank you for taking the time to come in this week and meet with Ms. Salas and me. We really enjoy sharing the growth your child has made already in second grade and can't wait to celebrate their many successes this year!
Our math test on Unit 1 went well. We took out pretest for graphing yesterday, and will begin a new unit of graphing next week.
Just a reminder that our Farmer's Market Walking Field Trip is Tuesday, October 14, when we return from the Columbus Day and conferences break. Please remember to dress your child in warm clothes because we will spend about 2 hours outside walking for this trip. If the weather is bad, we will postpone the trip one week and go on the 21st. We will have a snack on the square and come back in time for lunch. We still need small water bottles, goldfish, pretzels, and popcorn if anyone would like to send in these donations! Thank you. Parents, if you are meeting us for the trip please be here at 8:15. Thank you. We really appreciate your help and participation on this trip. In class, we will write a narrative based on our experience at the market and make a class book. In addition, we will study non fiction features of labeling and captions and use the food for part of graphing.
I hope you and your family enjoy the long weekend.
Mrs. Montes
