Oct. 21: Hanne ** Nov. 11: Lennon ** Nov. 18: Adeline

Reading in Class: We are finishing up main idea & key details. We will have a test on Wednesday. In phonics, we are working with words that have the long and short u sounds.

Math in Class: We will be using strategies to add and subtract 2-digit numbers with regrouping. See the family letter below, and consider doing the activity at home with your student.

Reading Passages (optional, but highly encouraged!!) :Stories go home each Friday. Encourage your child to read them to you (3 times), sign it, and send it back with them. They get class money for this!

**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 decodables each Friday in their black folders. 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.

Parents,

I am sending home a subtraction and addition paper that your student can use to practice math with. Here are some links to videos of the different strategies that we teach. This is completely optional, but some students could use the extra practice and/or review. I hope you have a wonderful fall break!
