The Second Grade Scoop
November 5th
Hello Second Grade Families,
What a fun Friday we had in 2R! We started the day by voting for the next president! No, not Hillary or Donald. We voted between Grace Campbell from the story Grace For President and Duck from Duck for President. The citizens of 2R have spoken and Duck is our next president! On Friday afternoon, our class got together with our 4th grade buddies for a Writing Celebration. Our class has been working so hard on our small-moment narratives so it was really nice to celebrate their hard word!
Just a reminder that next week we do not have school Monday through Friday. I hope you all enjoy your break!

Math
If you would like to continue practicing these skills at home, try passing a ball back and forth with your child while asking them doubles (4+4) or near doubles facts (4+5 or 4+6.) You can also play the Even and Odd game, which we play frequently in class or the Name That Number game.
After break, we will begin Unit 3, which will focus on subtraction strategies. To prepare your child, try doing some subtraction practice at home! Remind your child that if they know 4+3=7 then they also know 7-4=3 because the three numbers are all in the same fact family. On the Everyday Mathematics Student Portal, Subtraction Top It and Fact Workshop are two great games to practice these skills.
