A Look at Our Week
Science/Social Studies: This week we will continue our Social Studies unit on the 7 core virtues (giving, kindness, self control, respect, responsibility, honesty and perseverance). The students will learn about how to be a good character traits through various texts we are reading. We will discuss what each virtue looks like, sounds like and feels like.
Literacy: We will continue to set up reader’s workshop in the class. We will work on working with partners, building stamina with reading, working on what the expectations are during this time. We will also choose just right books, keep reading logs and set goals.
Math: We will begin to learn how to identify coins and their values. We will also begin working with word problems with double digit addition, as well as telling time to the hour.
Homework:
Read 20 minutes every night. Please let me know if you have questions.

CogAT testing will begin this week, Sept. 2-4 for all second graders. There was a note sent home in your child’s Thursday folder last week that explained the test. If you should have more questions, please let me know and I will get you in touch with Jaime Peterson, our Talent Development teacher. Make sure your child gets plenty of rest and eats a good breakfast.
