Parents,
We have a busy week ahead.
I will be out of the classroom Tuesday and Wednesday, October 30 and 31. We usually have a Fall Party on October 31, but plans will change a little since we will have a substitute teacher that day.
We will have a special Fall snack time instead of a party. The snack has already been provided, so please do not send any food, drinks, or candy for the class on October 31. If you would like to send individual treat bags for each student, you may. We have 20 students.
Students may wear their Halloween costume that day. Just remember they will wear it all day, so be sure it is appropriate for the playground. We do not change clothes or shoes at school. Toy weapons and face paint are not allowed at Pyron.
This week we will begin working on the book "The Josefina Story Quilt". The vocabulary words written in the planner on Monday, Oct. 29 are for two weeks. We will test over these words Thursday, November 8.
We also are working on nocturnal animals and their adaptations, predators and their prey, spellings for the "k" sound, and will finish Chapter 2 in our Math book. Our test will be on Friday, Nov. 2.
Nate Walters and his mom, Kerri Holt purchased a book from the Book Fair for our classroom. They selected "The Werewolf at Home Plate" by Bill Doyle. This is the first book from the new series Scream Team. It's an exciting story about some little monsters who don't play baseball well enough to be on a league team and how they solve their problem.
THANK YOU, NATE AND MS. HOLT! All students will enjoy reading this book.
Have a wonderful week!
Mrs. Bradford

New Vocabulary Words & Music Program
October 9, 2012
Hello Parents!
I hope I am not causing too much confusion with vocabulary words. We are going to discard last week's words. We may or may not come back to them later in the year.
This week we are going to move on to "Cowgirl Kate and Cocoa" and the vocabulary words from that story. The words are: sniffed, glared, munch, snorted, herd, lullaby, groom (meaning to clean and brush an animal), raised, and fluffed. I apologize for the confusion over our words.
Our Second Grade Music Program is set for Monday, October 15, at 6:30 pm in the Fine Arts Building. I'm sure Mr. Sexton will have more information for our students in Music Class. Hope to see you there!
Our class did an outstanding job in the District Evacuation Drill this morning. My responsibility is to stay behind to make certain the second grade hallway is empty, so another teacher takes our class out of the building and to the bus. Students handled that very well and I was able to join them on the bus. Good job, class!

October 3, 2012 - Vocabulary Words
Maybe your child has told you Mrs. Bradford sounds like a frog this week. It's true! Since my voice has been in and out, and largely useless, I have had to readjust our lessons somewhat.
We will not have our vocabulary words test this week. I have not been able to teach them as they need to be taught, so we will carry the same six words over to next week, October 8-12. I hope this doesn't cause too much inconvenience for you at home. Everyone should have a head start on next week!
