Fall Festival
Our Fall Festival will be held on Friday, November 1st from 1:00-2:30 pm in room 205. Please click on the link below if you are interested in helping out during the Fall Festival or if you are interested in donating supplies to the class for this day.
We will be having an apple tasting at Fall Festival. If you have not already done so, please send me an email that either reads, "Yes, my child may participate in the apple tasting." or "No, my child may not participate in the apple tasting." Thank you to everyone who has already gotten back to me about this!
We are no longer allowed to have snacks for the students during classroom celebrations due to the district wellness policy. Students will be bringing home a paper lunch bag next week. If you would like, your child may bring a special snack to school on Friday using that bag. Each child will eat his/her own snack during Fall Festival. Please make sure that the snacks do not contain any nuts!
Thank you so much for your help!

Math Facts
The second graders at Floral Street School have been hard at work on math facts since our first week together. Knowing our math facts fluently helps to ensure future success in mathematics. Both a paper and an electronic version of the image below will be going home to all second grade families in the very near future. This communication contains information about why learning math facts is important, expectations broken down by each trimester, ways you can help support us at home, and three math websites that students can use to practice.
Additionally, information on the XtraMath online math fact practice tool will be going home in next week's homework folder. As of right now, I don't have an expectation that all students use XtraMath once it is up and running because there are many different ways to practice facts and what works well for one student may not work well for another. However, it is an option that many students have found success with in the past, so I wanted to make sure that your students had access to that program this year as well. Be on the lookout for XtraMath login information early next week!
