Great First Week!

We had a great first week of school. We got to know each other and practiced our rules and procedures. The second grade knows the expectations and is setting a great example for the whole school!

Homework: Math pg 803-804, Word Study Worksheet, Reading Log 20 min every night

This week (September 2-5) we are learning:
Math-Students will be doing tally charts and bar charts.

Reading-We are learning reading expectations for the reading workshop. Students will be able to make connections to the books that they love. 

In their Blue Wednesday Folders, students will receive instructions for an "AT HOME PROJECT" for reading. They will have to create a reading timeline. 




Writing-Students will be able to plan and generate ideas for writing. Please talk with your child on stories they can write (what happened over the summertime, vacation, important people in their lives, holidays, etc).

In their Blue Wednesday Folders, students will receive instructions for an "AT HOME PROJECT" for writing. They have to create a special cover with pictures for their writing folder.
