Daily Math

This year we're using small groups to teach math - much like we do with reading. Each morning students rotate through 3 math rounds. So far, this routine has been successful. It allows more time and attention for students that need extra support and more enrichment opportunities for students that have mastered the concepts.

Book Orders Due!

Just a reminder that our first Scholastic book orders are due tomorrow, September 14th.  If you would like to purchase books in this order, please return the order form and a check payable to Scholastic by the end of the day on Friday.

Pedal the Plains

Morris Elementary students will be participating in the Pedal the Plains opening ceremony on the morning of Friday, September 21st.  We will be walking from the school to Old Threshers and back.  Permission slips for this event will be in your child's Friday Folder this Friday, September 14th.  Please sign and return these slips on Monday.  Thanks!

Welcome Back!

Our first week of second grade was fantastic!  I am so excited to see what this group will accomplish this year. My class has a fun mix of personalities and I've been impressed with how well they've made the transition back to school-mode.  I hope everyone enjoyed the long Labor Day weekend. Week 2, here we come!

Book orders are due tomorrow!

Our last Scholastic book order for this year is due tomorrow. Please make sure your child‘s name is on the order, and make checks payable to Scholastic. Thanks!

Don't forget book club!

I'm on Day 2 of a common core standards conference in Denver, but I want to remind my friends in the Brown Bag Book Club that we‘ll be meeting tomorrow. Don't forget your book, poster, and lunch!  I can't wait to hear about the reading you've been doing!
