Mrs. Owen's Second Grade Class
2015-16
October 30, 2015
We are having an awesome year in second grade. Students are learning many new things and we now have our ipads in our classroom. My students are working on Lexia for reading and Dreambox for math. There is so much learning happening on the ipads and the students are having fun while they are learning! Our Newsletter will also be on Canvas and you can access it with your e-school log in. If you do not have this please check with our secretary, Tracy, and she will help you with what you need. Thank you for all you do for your children!
Reading
I am reading fiction to my students and they are inferring what they think is going on in the story. I read them a new book every day and they are using their skills to figure out what is happening in the book.
Writing
We are working on the 5W's (Who, What, When, Where, Why) and How. The students have been using this method for a few days. I have seen their writing improve and their narratives are keeping us all interested.
Math
In math the class is working on regrouping and learning how to check their answers using addition. Helping your child practice at home would be great!
