Dear parents,
If you visit this website to read our classroom blog please send a note with your student or post a comment. Your child will get a trip to the treasure box. I am trying to find out if it's worth updating this site weekly, how often I should update this site, or if I should send information home in a newsletter monthly. Thank you for your help.

Spelling Words and updates for week of 8/16/2010
Dear parents,
The first full week went by very quickly and we have completed several tests. I am excited to be working with your students this year and I see the great potential for learning in each of them. It's going to be an exciting year of learning! We have seven subjects we are studying and they will learn a lot of new and exciting things. Please check their bags daily for homework or important information. Each day, at the end of the day, the students are sent by tables to collect from their mailbox. There is no reason why they should miss out on any information. Fridays you should always have spelling words, with phonograms on the back, in their folders. Following is a list of their spelling words and phonograms for this coming week. The pretest is on every Thursday and the final test is on Friday. Have them write each word daily and spell them to you daily. This prepares them for the tests. Thank you in advance for supporting your child in his/her learning experience.
Spelling words and phonograms:

A New Year
Dear parents and students,
Welcome to my class! Another summer has come and gone and we are refreshed and ready to learn and grow once again. I want to take a moment to invite you to the Meet the Teacher night on this coming Tuesday at 6 p.m. At that time I will have a packet for you. Below is a supply list for both my classroom and art. Please do not purchase White Board (dry erase) markers from the general list the school gave out. I have a surplus! :)
#2 pencils= 2 packages of 24 pencils each
1 pack of 8 basic crayons
2 reams of wide-ruled paper
1 folder for homework
2 large pink erasers ( not the pencil topper style)
1 pencil holder ( box or bag)
Mandatory water bottles
This is my list, we do not need glue sticks, rulers, or dry erase markers. If it is on the school list, please disregard their request for these items. Also, do not purchase duplicates if we have the same items listed on both lists. I am looking forward to meeting you and your child on Tuesday! See you then!

April 15th,2010 Class Update
Dear parents,
Thank you again for helping your students with their Social Studies projects. They did a wonderful job! We all enjoyed sharing our new knowledge and talents with each other. Our grand finale was a trio of reports on the state of Hawaii. We ate some foods from the islands, did the limbo, danced a little, and hammed it up for the camera. Mrs. Marlatt got lots of pictures of posters, maps, and the students enjoying themselves on our Hawaiian day. What fun! Thank you to the parents and administrators for showing interest and support by joining us to see the completed projects.
We completed our Terra Nova/Stanford 10 tests and next week we will be back on our regular schedule. The students will have regular reading classes, regular specialist times, and spelling words. The rest of the year will go by quickly. I am going to allow the students to do a week of Science Experiments the last week of May and I will send home information soon. It will not be graded and it is not mandatory. It's something they really want to do and since they did such a great job on the Social Studies projects they have proven that they are capable of exceeding the second grade standards. Also, they earned a pizza party and will enjoy that next week....on Thursday. It will not replace their regular lunch. It will be around 1:30 in the afternoon. Good job! A spelling list for next week will go home tomorrow and I will post it here as well.
Thank you,
Mrs. Marlatt

Classroom update for Week of April 5th, 2010
Dear Parents,
The most important news this week is that it is our last regular week of class before the state Stanford 10 test. It is very important that your student is in class before the bell rings each day next week. Please do not schedule appointments (if possible) so that your student will be present for the testing periods. Each student should arrive well-rested and ready to test. Healthy snacks are welcome on test days. Thank you, in advance, for your support.
Speaking of support...a big thank you goes out to all of the parents who have helped their student with their Social Studies project. This has been a big success! The students have enjoyed it as much as I have. Many parents have shared the fun stories of creating posters and maps with their child. Keep up the good work! The remaining reports will be given the rest of this week . Please bring in your maps and posters a day in advance.
We are testing for spelling words this week. Please have the student study each day for at least 15 minutes, in addition to the practice at school. Practice creates mastery. The words are listed below.
Spelling words for the test on April 9th:
