2nd Grade News for May and June

     In reading, we will be describing the connection between a series of historical events, scientific ideas or concepts, or steps in technical procedures in a text. We will be reviewing and extending concepts taught throughout the year in math. We will be learning about synonyms and antonyms in language.

      Please continue to practice addition and subtraction math facts at home. Students should be able to complete at least 20 facts accurately in 1 minute to be fluent in math facts. Your child is learning several strategies to learn their facts. Thank you for helping your child at home.

March/April 2nd Grade News



March/April

2nd Grade News

We will be discussing how characters respond to major events, learning about poetry, and making connections between a series of historical events in reading.  In math, we will be learning about money and measurement. We are looking forward to one more assembly on fire and safety. 
             
            Please continue to encourage your child to be reading at least 100 minutes for a 5 day school week and turning in their homework packets on the last day of the school week.  You can always have your child read more, especially if your child’s fluency rate is not close to 92 words per minute.  This is the minimum to score at grade level for the IRI (Idaho Reading Indicator) test which is in early May.  Please practice addition and subtraction math facts at home.  Students should be able to complete at least 20 facts accurately in 1 minute to be fluent in math facts.  Your child is learning several strategies to learn their facts.  Thank you for helping your child at home.
