It's the last day of November!

Where did the time go? It's hard to believe we have been in school for 3 months already. Please take a minute to check both the 2C and RBES calendars. There is a lot of important information as this calendar year comes to a close.

In Math today, we learned a new game, Place Value Face Off. Students will be place this game during Math Workshops this week, where our focus is comparing and ordering 2-digit numbers.


  • New Word Sorts were sent home. Please continue to practice daily. Due to our shortened week last week, students wrote their Word Sort tests this morning. Please sign, have your child complete their corrections if there were any, and return to school.
  • New Home Reading books were sent home. In order to become better readers, we strive to read a minimum of 15 minutes a night.
  • New Word Wall Words. This week our words follow the CVCe (consonant, vowel, consonant, e) spelling pattern. For example, the work like follows the CVCe pattern. The e in each word makes the vowel long (it says its own name)
