2nd Grade Newsletter-September
Hooray! We just finished our first few week of 2nd grade and the kids are doing a wonderful job. We are getting into our daily routines, starting new learning units, and becoming familiar with the rules of the classroom and school.
We are in the process of assessing your child in reading and math in class. We will be using this information to guide your child’s learning throughout the year. Be on the look-out for your student’s assessment data in their Friday Folder in the next few weeks and we will be able to discuss this in more detail at conferences next month.
We will begin having our literature skill groups in the next few weeks. Students will be reading here with us at school and doing assignments with these books but they will not be taking them home. These books are at your student’s instructional reading level and we will be building comprehension and decoding skills with them.
Homework News…
We recently started nightly math homework. Please have your child return his/her completed homework the next day in their homework folder and complete all work in pencil. Be sure to check your child’s backpack and folder nightly, as there may be assignments that need to be corrected or finished.
We will begin a monthly “Reading Bingo” board that will help your child stay motivated to practice reading at home. Students need to return their completed bingo card at the end of every month and they will earn a reward for doing so!
Here’s What We’re Learning This Month:
Reading- Non-fiction, informational texts and fiction stories about the interrelationship of plants, animals, and habitats. Students are also identifying the main topic of a text and the details that support the main idea, recounting stories, and explaining how images contribute to and clarify a text.
Math-Review of 1st grade skills: using the # grid, making combinations of 10, patterns, introduction to time and coins.
Writing-Students will be writing an informational essay that addresses a specific writing prompt. Students are learning how to gather facts from different sources, take notes, and apply their knowledge to write a multi paragraph essay.
Social Studies-A study of how decisions are made for the betterment of the community and leaders and their traits
