Math
We have started using Rocket Math program for practice and assessing addition facts. Everyone started on level A. These are timed, but the goal (# done) is individualized. When a student meets his/her goal, he/she moves on the the next level.
The 2nd grade standard is 100 addition problems correct in 5 minutes by the end of this semester. This will require practice at home. The A+ Teacher store in Avon (behind Arby's) has some good resources, including CDs to listen to in the car and DVDs.
We are reviewing ordinal numbers this week : first, second, etc. Your child should be able to use and spell them.
We have finished Topic 1 .... Understanding Addition and Subtraction. We will have the Topic 1 test on Thursday,

Reading
We checked out library books today. Students need to read these and take quizzes on their books before Friday morning, as we have to turn them in at 9 am!
Dates:
Meet the Teacher Night for 2nd grade *** Drop in between 6 and 7 pm to introduce yourself, meet me, see your child's desk and locker, and pick up a packet of information. This will be informal. If you have specific questions or concerns that you would like to talk about with me, please schedule a conference by emailing me. I'm always happy to meet privately with you at your convenience.
You will also want to wander the building to see the changes in progress.
