Math in Class: -We will be learning about line plots. Students should be able to read them and create them on their final test this Friday (4/21).

Reading Passages (optional, but highly encouraged!!) 

**We will be making a big push for these next 2 weeks. Please watch for some special passages to come home each Monday. As part of their 20 minutes of reading each night, Students should read these passages and answer a section on the back. 

Your child will still 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.
