Language & Reading Workshop
Writing Workshop
Second grade will be diving into a new unit where they are assigned an insect to research. They will be discovering how they look, their habitat, what they eat, their life cycle and other fun facts. They will turn this research into a research essay. They will be using various resources, both online and through text, throughout this unit!
Note: Handwriting is important! By second grade, students should have correct letter formation and word spacing. They also should be able to write on the lines. If you feel like your child could use some extra handwriting practice at home, please contact your child's homeroom teacher.
Math Workshop
Science
MAPS Testing
Some tips to help student success is:
1. Try to get them a great night's sleep! Early bedtime would be greatly appreciated so their brains are fully rested for the day!
2. Give them a nice, filling breakfast before coming to school. They will need energy to push them through the test.
3. You could practice some positive self talk for your student to practice when they get stuck or think somethings hard.
iPad Clean Up
We need to do a little iPad cleanup. It would be a huge help if all families could do the following things on their child's iPad this weekend:
1) Open up Safari and Chrome. Close out any open tabs. Some friends have several open tabs. This just makes the ipads lose battery faster.
2) Go to the Settings. If a software update is needed, please complete that. Please always make sure that when a red circle shows up that updates are installed at home. Right now, the current version that should be loaded is i.OS 15.3.1.
3) If a child needs to put in a passcode for their managed apple ID, please let your homeroom teacher know. We can help them.
4) All students have their 6-digit student lunch code as their home and lock screen code. This must remain the same throughout their student career at Rose Glen.
5) All students must have their "selfie" on their home screen and lock screen. Feel free to take an updated picture for second grade. (Remember, a student's face should take up the majority of the photo.)
6) Double-click and swipe up to close out any open apps.
7) Open Gmail and delete or archive any old emails.
8) Photos & Videos - Please remove any non-school related photos or videos. Feel free to transfer them to another ipad.
9) Please ensure a 100% charge and send back daily. Thank you so much for your help!
