What Have We Been Up To?!
Hello Second Grade Families! I hope this newletter finds you warm! We are off and running in our new quarter. The students were surprised to know that they are halfway done with second grade! This coming Friday is already Valentine's Day! As a reminder, if you would like to send a treat in with your child please let me know in advance so that we can best plan our day. Also, if your child would like to bring in valentines for the class that is great. They do need to bring in one for each student with the name of who it is for and who it is from. Thank you in advance for your help with this.
Reading
This week we started working on our new AR levels and goals. We've set up a sticker chart for students to montior their progress on their goals. Please know once their goal is met, I do extend it to continue to challenge them. So far, they are excited to see the stickers appearing next to their names! We have been working on compound words and will continue on with it this coming week. We were also working on questioning what we read to better comprehend our stories. We will begin learning about making inferences while reading this week.
Math
Unit 2 is OVER! We took our test and you will see this reflection sheet coming home by the end of the week. I am very pleased with the progress the students have made when I compare their pretest with their post test. We will take our Unit 3 pretest on Monday. Unit this is an extension of place value along with comparing numbers and more adding and subtracting with regrouping. Please have your students continue to work on their facts. This quarter we are going to be working on adding and subtracting doubles and double +/- 1.
Science
We took our Nutrition test this week over Little D's Nutrition Expedition. This week we will be extending our learning about nutrition using the My Plate (updated food pyramid) and using the nutrition labels that were sent in (thank you!).
