Parents, Middle of year testing continues this week. Please make sure your student is getting plenty of rest and a good breakfast. Some students get test anxiety. To help them, practice timing them for 1-minute while they read out loud to you. Then have them tell you about what they read after the timer goes off.

Reading in Class: We are working on finding the main idea and key details in a story. PHONICS: We are learning words that have a silent letter in them [ mb, sc, gn, wr, kn]
Math in Class: We are still learning strategies to subtract 3-digit numbers with regrouping. We will probably test on Wednesday. Please see the family letter below and consider doing the activity with your child at home.
Reading Passages (optional, but highly encouraged!!) : We are testing Jan. 16.
**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. Your child can read these stories and return them for class money. If they read them 3 times out loud with you, please sign it and have them bring it back.
