Hi Parents,
We had a great first week. I've been thoroughly impressed with the kiddos. They got back into the swing of things quickly, learned the new routines, and were so happy. Here's what's happening this week...
Math
We are starting our math unit with place value. We will be working with numbers up to 300. We will discuss odd/even, expanded form, pictorial form, etc. We will start our math rotations as well. The kids will need their own headphones for the technology station. Please have them bring a pair that can stay in their desk for the year.
Reading
This week in reading we are discussing how second grade readers will be reading longer books. This week starts my running records. I'll be sharing this data at our October conferences. The reading MAP test will be given this week. Students are taking a different MAP test than last year. This year it's a 2-5th grade test. There is a lot of reading on the test. The kids tend to get tired so I'll make sure to tell the kids to take breaks.
Grammar: Nouns, proper nouns, singular/plural nouns
Writing
For writing, we are starting with small moments. Please talk with your child about small moments they can write about. This could be the first time they rode a bike, one part of a vacation they took, first homerun, etc. I love this unit because I can share my stories with the kiddos and it's the perfect way for them to get to know me.
Social Studies
We are discussing the Pledge of Allegiance this week.
I have a class wish list. If you would like to contribute, please see the list here.
