I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving holiday. The next few weeks will prove to be very busy, so here we go!
A few miscellaneous updates for you...this Thursday is our Library day, so be sure to send those library books back with your child so he or she can check out a new selection.
Also, something out of the ordinary - I sent home a Spelling homework packet on Monday of this week, which is due on Friday. We will also have a Spelling test this Friday. I will send the homework packet home in this week's Friday folder for next week, per the usual routine.
Please let me know if you have any questions via email at mlbuster@torahacademy.org

11/9/12 Update
CTA has started its Food Drive to benefit the Mid-Ohio Foodbank. This week we listened to a representative from the Foodbank who explained how they help our community. Please be as generous as possible with your donations of nonperishable food items. The class that brings the most food in will get a Dress Down Day! The drive continues through November 19.
Parent Teacher Conferences are Wednesday, November 14. Please call the school office to schedule your time. If you cannot find a time that works for you, email me at mlbuster@torahacademy.org and we can work this out, no problem. There is NO SCHOOL on that day for the children.
Shabbot Shalom!

11/2/12 Update
Things are moving along at quite a good pace here in 2nd grade. We have been very busy learning parts of speech, sentence structure, place value, graphing, government and the solar system...phew!
Next week's Spelling words will increase in number - they are ready. Look for 14 words for most children and a few children will have 16 words to spell. Please remember the goal of weekly Spelling is to have the children learn the words not just for the test, but also for them to include those words in their everyday writing. When they ask you how to spell a word, encourage them to sound it out, remind them if they had it on a previous Spelling test, and hopefully, it will click! The words for the test on November 9 are dish, what, than, chest, such, thin, push, shine, chase, while, catch, sure, which and then.
Report cards should be sent home by the end of next week and parent/teacher conferences are scheduled for Wednesday, November 15. Please phone the school office to schedule a conference. Note: I try very hard to stay on time for conferences - easier said than done, given the short time we have for each meeting. If you feel the time allotted will not be sufficient, please feel free to email me and we can conference a different time that will allow us to cover all questions and concerns and be rushed. Thank you in advance for your help keeping conference day running smoothly.
