Parents,
We’ve had a terrific week in second grade! We read about the desert in language arts and learned about plant and animal adaptations. We made crayon-resist, watercolor cactus pictures.
Spelling tests will go home on Monday. To achieve mastery, students need to be able to apply the spelling rule to words that are not on the weekly list. The activities in the homework packet can help with this application level. Please have your child attach the three spelling activities they practice that week and also attach the words in a baggie or envelope, so I can see that they have done the spelling sort.
We finished Topic 2 in math, Addition Strategies. We made some fun flip-flop facts and cool doubles dudes. We will be starting Topic 3, Subtraction Strategies, on Monday.
We’ve had a lot of students get on Reflex Math at home. Way to go! The log-in information is in the packet I sent home on back-to-school night. We’ve also had a couple kids get on our Pearson Success Net website and check out our language arts and math lessons and activities. The log-in information is in the packet I sent home on back-to-school night.
Picture day is Tuesday, September 22. If you want to purchase pictures, please send your child’s envelope that day.
Thank you for reminding your child to bring their take-home folder and signed planner to school each day. Homework is always due on the last day of the week.
Thank you to our wonderful parent volunteers. We appreciate your help so much!
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Have a fabulous weekend!
Mrs. Adams
