We have a crazy week ahead of us and soon the homework load will increase a bit, but its January now and we need to be raising the bar to meet the first grade expectations set for this time of year. Space the homework out and do a bit each night. Second grade teachers like to assign homework and make it due the next morning, so its a good idea now to get into the habit of setting aside time each night The School-Home Literacy Links page will be sent next Friday and is a great way to practice several skills at once: reading, comprehension, decoding, and writing. We will be taking our District Writing Test soon and this page will help us demonstrate the skills we need to master in order to be Second-Grade-Ready! ATTENTION CAMPERS! From now on, for each Box Top you bring into Camp Cronce, ten cents will go into your bank to be used at the classroom store! Woo-hoo! LETS START CLIPPING! A big, warm THANK YOU goes out to the following families: The Howards for a bucket of bird seed, The Sparschus for their donation of pencils, The Hudsons for their technological assistance, The Mayers for replacing the old Zune with which we used to listen to our weekly stories, and The Pittmans for their Band Aid replenishment. Youve heard it said that It takes a village to raise a child and this is something our parents at Camp Cronce know very well! Thanks to you all! Be sure to check out our new videos on the protopage! (They are under the Meet Our Class tab.) Looking forward to the week ahead, Mrs. Cronce www.protopage.com/mrscronce
