2nd Grade @ ROE
#AdventureAwaits
Welcome
We are so excited for all of our new friends that have joined us in 2nd grade! This year is going to be filled with lots of fun adventures and laughter. We invite you to join us on our adventure of positive energy! Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
2nd Grade Adventures
In order to promote high attendance, we will be spelling out the word ATTENDANCE. Each day that our class has 100% attendance a letter will be added. When the whole word is spelled out, we will celebrate. We will also have a school wide prize for the grade level with the highest attendance. Please help us reach our goal in 2nd grade!
Academics
ELAR: We will read several books about families and discuss the story elements such as setting, theme, characters and make connections to the story.
Math: This week we will be exploring with place value of digits and learning the different ways to write a number such as, standard, word form and expanded form.
Science: We will discuss and explore the scientific method.
Social Studies: We will discuss several American symbols and the importance of the flag.
*Students will be tested over knowing the pledge on Friday- please practice at home*

We will provide family friendly, engaging homework activities and assignments. We would love if you would send us pictures of these activities and share them with us.
