This week, Second graders will begin testing in both Math and Reading, so teachers and administrators can attain a strong baseline for the needs of each child. We would love to see each student come to school with a well rested mind and a healthy snack.
Below are some of the books we read together as a class last week. These books will set the climate for our class this year, as well as introduce classroom routines and rules. In Social Studies we are learning the characteristics of a good citizen, and students worked hard to set up their Integrated Curriculum notebooks. These notebooks will be used for note taking in science and social studies. Math found us diving right into addition and subtraction math facts using the doubles and making ten strategies. Math worksheets went home with your students on Friday. Please review these worksheets with your child and complete what was not finished in class.
You're Finally Here! was used as a humorous way to welcome students back to school.
The Recess Queen helped us learn indoor and outdoor recess rules.
We also read the following two books written by Kevin Henkes:
Wemberly Worried- deals with feeling nervous
Chrysanthemum- celebrates diversity and teaches kindness
