Second Grade News You Can Use
May 4th-8th, 2015
A Note From Mrs. Graham
Thank you for sending me well-rested, non-anxious, children last week who had water and healthy snacks to keep them going strong.
We are still working to learn as much as we can in second grade. Keep sending me those well-rested children with water and snacks in tow so we can finish our school year strong, as well.

BIBLE
Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.
Our story this week is about Queen Esther.
MATH
On the math section on the Stanford, the children for the most part did well if they used the strategies and knowledge they have learned throughout first and second grades. However, I did notice some students who did not regroup when needed. If a mistake was made, that was most likely the cause. Please continue to practice math facts with addition, subtraction, and multiplication of twos, threes, fours, fives, and tens with your children throughout the school year and this summer.
