Remember to work on BOTH Acellus and iReady lessons.  A few of you are forgetting to log into iReady each week and are behind with your lessons.  Please do iReady reading and math for 15  minutes each, with a break between the subjects.  This has been stated on our class' schedule.  

Students, check your Email on a DAILY basis, for reminders and assignments.  One student said she checks it on Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons, just so that she is ready on Monday morning, or the next school day!  This is being a self-directed learner, preparing herself for future grades!  Find a system that will work for you! 

Parents, thank you for learning alongside your student as well!  Some of you have commented that you are now in the know of using "Google" (Gmail, G.Meet, and G.Classroom!) Wow!!! That's so Awesome! I'm proud of you too! It's just a matter of having a growth mindset...try and try again....if Plan A doesn't work, there's always 25 more alphabets to go!  LOL

Let's have a Great week!

This week's Growth Mindset: Challenges Help Me To Grow! 

Welcome to second grade! Glad you found our classroom blog!  This is where I'd post up things that are happening in school!  Sometimes you'll see pictures, project reminders, and other events.  This time I will not have a daily schedule posted.  I will, however, have at least one Blog Post per week.  

If you didn't see the daily schedule I posted on my webpage, here it is.  This week's schedule has been sent to you via email, but this schedule (shown below) will begin on the next full week of school...August 24, 2020.

If you haven't yet done so, please be sure to login to your new Google Classroom! I sent the invite to your email (not the parent's email).  Students, check your email on a daily basis.  You will be going into Google Classroom on a daily basis, just to check to see if you got a message from me, or if you have a NEW assignment.  

Speaking of assignments, you have one that will be due on Wednesday, August 19th.  You will need to create a Name plate that clearly shows your FIRST name, on a piece of paper, card-stock, construction paper, or white board, etc... so you can use it on the Google Meet happening on Wednesday at 9:00 a.m.

Have fun today!  I can't wait to see you all on the 19th! Take care, be safe, and stay active! A hui hou and Much Aloha,

Mrs. Wong

Celebrating 50 Years of Earth Day!

Wednesday, April 22, 2020

Happy Earth Day! 🌎
Mālama Honua (Take care of the Earth)

As we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day, think about the different ways you can help to take care of our beautiful earth.  Let's do something small everyday to help take care of the EARTH we live on.

For example, I can help the Earth by conserving electricity.  I can use natural lighting as much as possible by opening doors and windows to let the sunshine (natural light) in!  I can open up the blinds and curtains and turn off the lights when not in use.  I can also unplug electronic devices when I'm not using them.  This will all help to conserve electricity!


In the comment box below, please comment on what you will do to help take care of the Earth?  Be as detailed as possible.  
Explain why? 

When done, enjoy this link,  50 Ways to Earth Day! , with your `Ohana!

Good Morning Everyone!
Happy Earth 🌎 Day!
I had to get up EXTRA early today.  I had a 6:00 a.m. "online" class that I had to attend.  Why so early you ask?  Well, the instructor lives in New York, so he lives in a time-zone that is 6 hours ahead of us, here in Hawaii.
He presented his webinar class at 12:00 p.m., Eastern time, while I attended at 6:00 a.m. Hawaii Standard time.  There are actually 6 time zones recognized in the United States.  Four, if you don't include Alaska and Hawaii.  Just a little food for thought this morning 😉
