Parents,

We have 45 school days left of school. Our testing window for acadience math and reading will be May 13 – 17, which means we really only have 35 learning days before that. It is so important that your child is reading every day so they can reach their personal pathway goals. I know a lot of my students like to read in their head, but please make sure they are reading at least 5 minutes out loud. After those 5 minutes, ask them what they just read. Retell is a big part of the reading test. Students need to be able to tell you as much as they can about what they read in 1 minute. If you would like to know what your child can do specifically, please email me and I can talk about their personal goals and how to achieve them.

Reading in Class: We are identifying characters in a story and how they respond to a problem. PHONICS: We are learning variant vowels [au, aw, al, augh, ough]

Math in Class: This will be our last week of measurement. We will be solving word problems that involve measurement. Please see the family letter below and consider doing the activity with your child at home.

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. 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.
