Valentines Exchange: Students are welcome to exchange valentines on Monday, Feb. 14 . We have 27 students. 

NEW THIS YEAR!!!! BREAKING NEWS!!!!
We can have STORE bought treats this year in addition to any other prizes you want to attach to cards. Please note that such items, including Valentine cards, are in no way required**To save on time, please have your child write their name near the “from”, and leave the “to” blank. This will make it so much easier to pass the cards out.**

Valentine boxes: Students are welcome to make a valentine box at home (no bigger than a shoe/tissue box size). Please do not bring it until Feb. 14. I will provide bags to students who would rather not make a box at home.

Reading in Class

Math in Class:

We are using the strategies that we have learned to solve one-step and two-step word problems with 2-digit numbers.

Reading Passages

**Please read with your child. Make it enjoyable and fun. You can even read to them and then ask them questions!! 20 minutes a day is a great goal.  Your child should be bringing home 2 decodables in addition to their weekly passage throughout the week. These stories can be read and returned for class money. If they read them 3 times out loud with you, please sign it and have them bring it back. It is so important to read every day and ask fact finding questions from the story to develop your student’s comprehension; this is key to meeting the end of the year benchmark goals for 2nd grade, without practicing and developing this skill of retell it is extremely difficult hitting the end of the year benchmark reading level.
