Welcome Back!

I hope everyone had a great Spring Break and Easter with family!  Smoothies on Thursday for everyone who did the Spring Break Challenge Packet.  Packets can be turned in today or tomorrow.

Math

We are beginning our new Geometry today.  We will continue to review addition and subtraction strategies the remainder of the year.  Our addition and subtraction goals will be centered around solving different types of problems and setting up a plan to solve the problem.

Language Arts

Big focus here at the end of Second Grade on transitioning reading fluency into reading comprehension.  To help your child, ask questions after reading.  Ask them to predict what might happen.  Watch their AR scores to ensure they are remembering what they read.  Students will also begin to formalize grammar rules.   

Science

Stay tuned we will be gearing up for Science Night soon.  

Homework

Homework is a packet this week.  The Reading Log is on the front of the packet.  Please be sure to fill out the reading log each night.  Student should read 20 minutes each night.  Packet is due Friday.
