Maps

In Social Studies we are learning all about maps! We have learned a lot so far. This week in class we are going to make a detailed map, with a key and a compass rose, of a room in their house. Ive let them know that it will be a good idea to sketch out something at home to bring back to class. Please have them do this before Thursday.

Adding in Math

We have started Adding with regrouping in class! This is an exciting time for second graders, they get so excited when they understand this concept. We will work on this thoroughly throughout the year. You can help them by giving them random problems to practice. Here are a few examples you can use to help them practice at home.
