Invitation to Curriculum Night -
I would like to invite the parents to our Second Grade Curriculum Night on Wednesday, September 9th at 6:00 p.m. This year will include an iPad presentation as well as an overview of the curriculum for your child. I look forward to seeing everyone again.
MAPS
The children have been given an overview of MAPS by Mrs. Hendron. They will be taking math and reading MAPS next week.
Math
Please check your child's folder for two letters containing a user name and password for two math programs that I encourage your child to use at home, Xtra Math and TenMarks.
In class we started recording math strategies that we will be using throughout the year.
Next week everyone will make their own number rack. We will be working with story problems that involve part-part-whole relationships.
Reading/Language Arts
The children were introduced the Scholastic Reading Counts Program. They earn points for reading books by taking quizzes online. They are doing an awesome job. We will continue to work on our Daily Five Routine.
Next week we will review nouns.
Science
We will learn how the Royal Food Family rescues "Little D", a dragon that is not feeling well.
