Second Grade
Week 8
Hello 2nd Grade Parents,
We hope everyone is doing great and our all well. We have enjoyed getting to Zoom with our students and seeing all the great work they are doing. We are so proud of them!
Below you will find various links that include: teaching notes, videos, graphic organizers, charts, math review, etc. All documents that require you to print off are a PDF file for easy access. We have also provided the same paper copies at the school for pick up on Thursday, May 7th. The copies at school will be no different than the PDF files attached to this newsletter.
We are asking parents to submit the completed work digitally by Friday, May 15th or on Thursday, May 14th when you pick up your new learning at home packet. We prefer digitally if all possible, but understand if you need to drop it off.
Parents, please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions you may have.
Love,
Your Child's Second grade teachers
