Marvelous Monday!!

We had a great start to our first five day week in November!! :)

Math Manipulative Bag

Your child is bringing home a mesh bag of math goodies!  Inside the bag there is money, unifix cubes, and place value blocks.  The CPS Math Department has provided every second grade student with these items.  These are for your child to keep and use to help him/her with math skills.  Enjoy!! :)

Library Checkout

We have library checkout tomorrow.  Due to the Book Fair set up in the Media Center, we did not have library checkout last week.  Please help your child remember his/her library books tomorrow.

Spelling Words

Our spelling words this week are working on long a vowel patterns.  We have CVCe words and CVVC with "ai" words.  We talked today that there is no trick to knowing when a word has an "e" or "ai" and that these words just have to be memorized.  Our spelling words this week are: blame, snake, fame, taste, brain, paint, chain, wait, main & stare (oddball).

Fable Unit

We have started learning about what a fable is and that a fable has a moral.  RBE will have a Fable Week November 28-December 2.  We will have a Fable Character Dress Up Day on November 30 - talk with your child about what fable character he/she would like to dress up like!

PTA Meeting Tomorrow

The RBE PTA Meeting is tomorrow, Tuesday, November 15 at 6:00 in the Media Center.

Have a wonderful evening & enjoy this beautiful fall weather - it's supposed to get a lot colder later this week!
