This Week 📚
We had a great week in second grade!
Here's what we focused on this week.
Reading: This week we read books about friendship. These stories taught us important lessons about being a good friend. We learned about the genre animal fantasy, which is a type of fiction where the characters are animals.
Writing: This week we learned that we are all authors! The students have been working hard on writing a book about any topic of their choice! I can't wait to read them when they are finished!!
Math: This week in math we practiced different strategies for addition. We learned about making ten, counting on, and using doubles and near doubles facts.
Social Studies: This week we learned about rules and consequences. We have also been working on creating our class Pax vision. This is a set of guidelines for the things we want more of (pax behaviors) and things we want less of (spleems).

📌 Reminders
Nightly Homework
Each night your child should read for at least 10 minutes and practice math facts for at least 5 minutes. A great way to practice math facts is using XtraMath. Information about how to login at home is coming home with your child today. Please look for it in the red take home folder!
In second grade, we work on mastering our basic addition and subtraction facts from 0-18 so they become automatic. Practicing facts for a few minutes every night will help us reach this goal! If you need flashcards, here are some that you can print and use at home.
Dismissal
Remember to use the PikMyKid app/website for any dismissal changes. I will be checking this each afternoon as verification for how each child will go home. Please make all changes before 2:45 PM.
