The Weekly Buzz

This Week 📚
Here's what we focused on this week.
Reading: This week we read books about families and caring for each other. We read stories with different types of families. We learned about the author's message, which is what the author wants us to learn after reading a story. We have also been working hard to build our read to self stamina. We can read to self for 20 minutes, which is our goal in second grade!!
Writing: This week we continued working on writing our own books. We also learned about sentences this week. We learned that every sentence must have a subject (who or what the sentence is about) and an action. This week, we also learned about four different types of sentences: statements, commands, questions, and exclamations.
Math: This week in math we practiced different strategies for subtraction. We learned about counting back, making ten to subtract, and fact families.

📌 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.
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.
