Reading in Class
Math in Class:
We are learning about Time. Students need to know how to tell time to the nearest five minutes on an analog clock . We will test on Friday, the 13th.
Reading Passages (optional, but highly encouraged!!)
**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 each Friday in their yellow 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.
SUMMER READING PROGRAMS:
KEEP UP THE READING!!! This link has amazing opportunities for summer reading programs. There are some many ways student can earn prizes for all of the reading they do. 🙂 A printed version went home with students on Friday.
Thank you! Happy Summer Reading!!!
Summer Reading
Barnes & Noble. This is a great program because all the students have to do is read 8 books, record the title & author on a journal & take the journal into the store once completed & they get to choose a free book. They’ve changed it a bit this year, only accepting the journals in the month of August but they’ve also given a great list of books to read for the summer by age group. I would appreciate you posting this on your blogs when you have time. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/h/summer-reading-lists?list=kidsbrages-0-7
