Star Students: Feb. 24 – Artemi ~ Mar. 03 – Leo ~ Mar. 10 – Vyom

Reading in Class: We are reading expository text and comparing using a venn diagram. In phonics we are reviewing r-controlled vowels. See the list below for examples.

Math in Class: Our measurement test using different tools will be Monday. Then we will be reteaching 1-step word problems and retesting on Friday. Please help your student with this. They really struggle with word problems. Please see the examples below.

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.
