Reading in Class

Math in Class:

We are in our measurement unit. Please see the family letter below. Have your child experiment around the house measuring different objects with different types of tools (rulers with inches and centimeters, yardsticks, and measuring tapes). Ask them questions like: How do you know what tool to use to measure an object? or What are some objects around the house that we can measure? The more they experiment out side of school, the more concrete this will become for them.

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.
