Star Students: *
Reading in Class: We are rereading to understand the text and practicing retelling a story. In phonics, we are working with long o words.
Math in Class: We are learning how to compare 3-digit numbers by using symbols of greater than, less than, and equal to. PLEASE read the family letter below, and consider doing the activity with your child at home. We will test on Friday, Dec. 13.
Reading Passages (optional, but highly encouraged!!): Stories go home each Friday. Encourage your child to read them to you (3 times), sign it, and send it back with them. They get class money for this!
**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 black 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.
