SEP WEEK- I look forward to meeting with you!
Last week we had a really fun and great week. On Friday the students met their 5th grade buddies. We will meet with them every Friday for an activity. The students love and look up to their buddies.
Just a Reminder- No School Friday, September 4th and Monday, September 7th for Labor Day! Enjoy your long four day weekend! I will be sending home homework on Thursday.
Save the Date- Wednesday, September 9th is Literacy Night from 5-6 pm. Come and learn the homework spelling sorts and enjoy pizza provided by the school! Also, Friday, September 11th is Picture Day!
Language Arts: We will begin learning about Verbs.
Writing: We are making sure that our sentences start with a capital and end with a period. Please watch for this at home. The students are doing a lot of writing, and it is fantastic! We just need to remember the mechanics.
Math: The 2nd grade is starting their first math camp. This is when all the second graders are given the same assessment on a certain concept; our current focus is time. Next, we split the students into four groups based on their ability and knowledge of time. Then we can focus on exactly what they need to work on. We meet for math camp everyday from 2:30-3:00.
Please practice time at home. Just an idea ... buy your child a watch, that is analog not digital, ask them what time it is through out the day!
Our math focus for this week is:
- Solve problems that involve addition.
- Write addition number sentences.
- Use the count-on strategy to add 1, 2, or 3.
- Use a double to add numbers by 1 or 2.
- Solve subtraction problems.
We will be learning about all kinds of safety.
