Hello, Families!
It was a wonderful week in second grade! We had an exceptional time on our field trip to the Museum of Science & Industry. Thank you to all the volunteers who made this trip possible! It was fun watching the children connect to their prior knowledge and build their schemas for our upcoming "reading in science" units. Please remember there is no school Friday due to Teacher Institute.
We had a busy week of learning! On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, students completed the COGAT testing. Students enjoyed challenging their brains to think in new ways!
As always (and I can't overstate this enough), PLEASE let me know if you have any questions about your child's progress, or about anything school related in general. My hope is you'll always ask if there is anything you're wondering.
Please ask your child:
Math:
- Tell me what your math-facts group worked on this week! What is your goal?
- You are working to find missing addends and subtrahends. Show me how to find the missing numbers: ___ + 7 = 12 ..... 8 - ____ = 3... 4 + ____ = 11 ..... ____ - 5 = 8
Reading:
- What books are you currently reading?
- (COGAT testing was completed mainly during this time--a reading review and assessment will follow next week).
Writing:
- Tell me about your opinion writing. Which type of community is best to live in, and why? Tell me about your interesting lead and your strong ending.
- What is the difference between a score of 2nd-grade and 3rd-grade in the "details" section of the rubric?
Other:
- Tell me about the assembly today honoring Mrs. Jackson!
- What was the best part of your week?
- Is there anything you would like to be different next week? What can you do to make that happen?
Thank you for sharing your wonderful children with me. Have a lovely weekend!
