Mid-year Testing: We start our mid-year testing this week. Please make sure your student is reading, getting enough sleep, and eating a good breakfast. These basic needs can really help them do their best on these tests.
Reading in Class:
- The essential question is: “How does the Earth change?”
- Comprehension Strategy and Skill: Reread to identify the main purpose of a text.
- Spelling Pattern: r-controlled (ir, ur er or)
Math in Class: We are working with addition and subtraction within in the same lesson. This can be hard for 2nd grade brains to switch back and forth. Please see the family letter below so that you can help your child as needed.
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 decodables each Friday in their green 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.
