Dear Families,
We had a great week in school! Here are a few highlights from our week together:
Important dates:
March 22nd: 2nd Grade Spring Concert 7:00-8:00
March 30th: No School. Spring Break begins
April 9th: School Resumes
Reading and Writing: This week we read and wrote nonfiction. We completed our personal expertise projects by making "Did You Know Bubbles." Students learned how to write an introductory paragraph, supporting details and a closing paragraph. We also learned about text features and included them on our bubbles. A few children need to finish up next week!
Math: We have been working on addition and subtraction regrouping with the students. The 2nd grade teachers added this extra practice into the curriculum as we feel this skill should be introduced in 2nd grade. Please check with your child and have them show you an addition and subtraction regrouping problem with/and without base ten blocks. We will begin Unit 7 next week.
The concepts below should be learned by the end of Unit Seven. You can refer to the Unit Seven family letter and Home Links should you have any questions about a certain learning goal. We have included the kindergarten and first grade IXL skills in case your child is really struggling with a concept.
