Hello Second Grade Families,
This week seemed to just fly by with the snow day! We have been busy in 2R getting ready for Open House. The students are very excited to have their hard work showcased on March 22nd. Hope to see you all there!

Math
At home, please continue to...
- Practice basic addition and subtraction math facts.
- Practice telling time using an analog clock. Students have learned how to tell time to the minute so it is just a matter of requiring them to do so.
- Pose one or two step number stories to your child.
- Check out Number Grid Difference and Basketball Addition games on the Everyday Math website. Please email me if you need your student's login.
Reader's Workshop
Writer's Workshop
In our Writing About Reading unit, students have been working hard to tell their opinions on different books they have read. This week, students learned how to use quotes to prove their opinion. Students also learned more about punctuation and tried using commas, dashes and parenthesis in their writing.

If our class places $50 worth of orders all together, we will earn $10 in free books. With each order placed, our class also earns bonus points that I can then use to purchase more books for the classroom or even other materials like math manipulative for the classroom.
