Dear Second Grade Families,
We are down to the last 4 days before Christmas Break!! I know that everybody has busy households as we finish all our Christmas preparations, yet stay caught up with our day to day activities. Easier said than done--but try very hard to enjoy some peace within this busy time of year.
Along with being the last 4 days until break it is also the last 4 day of the 2nd quarter. Our week will be spent completing report card assessments. The second quarter report cards will go home in January.
Since we have been busy reviewing addition and subtraction strategies and solving word problems, the homework this week will be focused on word problems. Last week students worked with a partner to add and subtract two given numbers to become an expert in one of our 3 strategies. They then wrote an addition word problem and a subtraction word problem using the same two numbers. Students are creating posters with all their work. All student pairs will be presenting their posters during math class over the course of this week.
Here’s our math homework for the week.

Wednesday

As we close out the year 2015 and the 2nd quarter, I’m wishing all Second Grade Families a wonderful, restful, and safe holiday season!
Sincerely,
Anne Bloomfield

Hello Second Grade Families,
We are finishing up our last week before Christmas break begins. The 2nd grading period also finishes up this Friday so report cards will be ready to be handed out in January. I will be completing the last of my report card assessments this week during reading class so your child will not have assigned reading books this week. Please have them continue to read each night, they will be allowed to bring books home from my class library to read. Remember to have your child write down books that they are reading on their own at home on their reading log so that they can earn a pizza certificate.
If your child is still working on their reading fluency please have them practice reading their fluency passage a minimum of 3 times each night. Second graders should be able to read 100 words in 1 minute or less. Reading fluency will be assessed on Wednesday.
Happy Reading,
Katy Loop
