Accelerated Math 2.0 Lesson!
Hello, Families!
We had a wonderful week in second grade! The students really enjoyed our field trip to Konow's Corn Maze today. I have a feeling everyone will be sleeping very well tonight. ;)
Over the next two weeks, our class will be taking the STAR Reading and STAR Math assessments to determine areas of growth and areas of need. Your child and I will meet to plot his/her score on a graph, and I will send home a copy of the report!
As always (and I can't overstate this enough), PLEASE let me know if you have any questions about your child's progress, or about anything school related in general. My hope is you'll ask if there is anything you're wondering.
Please ask your child:
Math:
- (We were in a buffer week this past week! Students spent time working on Accelerated Math 2.0 while I worked with groups of children. We will be taking the Unit 2 pretest next week! I will also send home Unit 1 reports early next week.)
Reading:
- What books are you currently reading?
- What book(s) did you read in guided reading? What have you learned?
- What are some questions you can ask to help you understand nonfiction texts (Who? What? Why? Where? When? How?)?
Writing:
- You took your narrative assessment! What did you write about? Narratives and rubrics will be sent home early next week.
- Tell me what you learned about Helen Keller. How are people who are blind able to read?
Social Studies:
- What is the difference between wants and needs?
- Tell me what you learned about community workers.
- What are goods and services? How do goods and services affect the community?
Other:
- What was the best part of your week?
- Is there anything you would like to be different next week? What can you do to make that happen?
Thank you for sharing your wonderful children with me. Have a lovely weekend!
