Hello Families,
This week in 2nd grade we will continue building stamina for our Daily 5 routines and getting ready for our first Spelling, Language and Reading tests this Friday. When reading the selection (The Mixed Up Chameleon) this week, there are a few ways to work on fluency with your child. You can "Choral read" together the page, you can trade off reading sentences, or you can read and then your child reads just what you read. Don't feel that you have to read the entire story every night. Your child will bring home their book Tuesday through Thursday - break the story in 1/2 and then read through on Thursday. Thanks!!
In Math we are finishing up Unit 1. We will review for the Unit test next Monday and the test will be on Tuesday. Continue to practice money skills, counting by 2's, 5's, 10's, and filling in the number grids. Whatever set your child is on in Rocket Math should also be practiced. Just 5 minutes a day will help immensely!
I am looking forward to seeing all of you at Back to School Night on Tuesday, September 23rd at 7 pm. If you cannot attend, I will send home a packet with all of the information in it on Wednesday with your child.
We are looking forward to GrandParents Day on Friday, Sept. 23 at 11:45 am. We will read to our Grandparents and enjoy lunch as well!
We are continuing our collection for the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund through September 30. Thanks so much for your support!
See you soon!
Mrs. Scull
