Reading in Class: What happens when families work together?

STRATEGY: We will be asking and answering questions as we read, so we can identify the main idea and key details of a text.

PHONICS: short i and long i (i_e)

Math in Class: We tested on graphs this past Friday (look for tests to come home this week). This week we will be learning different strategies to add 2-digit numbers. We will most likely test on this standard on Friday, 09/22.

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.  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.

DECODABLE STORIES: Your child should be bringing home stories each Friday in their orange 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.
