Brown Bag Lunch

Wednesday was brown bag lunch for second grade. \

Brown bag lunch is when parents can bring and enjoy lunch with their children after they attend a 20 minute meeting with the teachers.

In this meeting the teachers remind the parents to read everything in the Friday folders. Teachers put information about what they are doing in school and it is a great way for them to become involved in their education at home. The teachers also talk about language to use with the children when they bring stuff home. For example, when I went to school we used barrowing and carrying over but now we use regrouping. The teachers also discussed how much children benefit from reading with their parents.

Actually a lot of the stuff they talked about in regards to reading we discussed in our monthly class. It was interesting to here how teachers worded and phrased what we read in the book.
