Welcome to Mrs. Balok's second grade class!
Don't forget to order your child's ocarina for music. It will be part of their music grade when students bring them to Mr. Capote's class. They have to have them every time they go to music. Parents, I hope all of you had a great weekend! Reminder: This year our school has added hub websites. The hub websites are different for all grade levels. Since your child is in second grade, you will of course go under the 2nd grade hub website: Franklin-cc-2nd.weebly.com (see also below). You will go into this website first and within this hub website, you will find my own personal website: balok.weebly.com (see also below). Read the next paragraph for an explanation of these two different websites. The HUB WEBSITE will have general information on what is happening in ALL OF SECOND GRADE. It will have the objectives the students will be learning for the week, spelling words, vocabulary words, high frequency words, special dates, & happenings across the second grade level. My PERSONAL WEBSITE will have more specific information like exact dates of quizzes and tests, special rotation schedule, and other happenings specifically that take place in MY CLASS. Second Grade Hub Website: Franklin-cc-2nd.weebly.com Mrs. Balok's website: balok. weebly.com Mrs. Balok's email address: [email protected] Please make sure you check the hub website and my personal website weekly. Over the weekend they are updated. AR QUIZZES & i-ready INFORMATION: I-READY: Meet those 45 minutes goals. I am very proud of the students who are doing them!! AR QUIZZES (ARE COUNTED AS TWO GRADES): Please, please encourage your child to take AR Quizzes (part of his/her ELA Grade). One grade is for Comprehension and the other grade is what percentage of his/her goal was met. PLEASE, PLEASE encourage your child to take AR quizzes. I will motivate them as well. YOU CAN ALSO GO TO arbookfinder.com. On this you can type in any book and it will tell you if is an AR book or not.It will also tell you the reading zone of the book. Also, there are great apps you can download on your phone that will help you find AR books easily. Once you download either of these apps, you simply scan the bar code on the back of any book and it lets you know right away if it is an AR Book or not. How cools is that??? Here are the apps: ar book finder and the other one is point scan free.
