Reading Workshop: Second graders focused on presenting their Passion Projects and reading Scholastic Newspapers. We also began returning book room books and cleaning out frog boxes and crates. Remember to join the Summer Library Program this summer and read!
Word Work: We worked on finishing up some pages in our Wordly Wise Books. Anything not completed can be used for summer review. Don’t forget the website for extra practice over the summer!
Be sure to go to the free activities at the bottom of the page and go to “student page.”
Writing: We cleaned out our writing binders and tried to organize. Don’t forget to use the leftover pages in all of the notebooks sent home to practice writing over the summer! Students can write narratives, informational pieces, realistic fiction, and opinion/persuasive letters or even just lists! Also, the blogs are available. Encourage your child to blog about summer activities!
Math: This week we took our Unit 9 math test. A lot of it was review and many did really well. Your child can finish up any pages in the math book for practice over the summer! We'll send those home next week.
Social Studies: We're finishing up our last unit on Government!
