Dear Bighorn Parents,
Welcome to the month of May!! Even though we are solidly in the season of spring, winter temperatures have occasionally crept in and this week there are summer temperatures (high 70’s into the 80’s) in the forecast. Please send your child with a labeled water bottle.
Last week students focused on the final standard in 2nd grade Math--equal groups and building arrays to show repeated addition or the foundation of Multiplication. Students were so excited!
As students work on this important foundational skill. They learned about equal groups, repeated addition, arrays, columns, rows, multiplication equations, factors, and products. Miss Garcia and myself were very impressed with how quickly the 2nd graders picked it up! They are looking more and more like 3rd graders everyday.
We will review this work on Monday and assess, so there will be no homework Monday night in math.

With instruction of 2nd grade math standards completed, the remainder of the school year, we will be focusing on standards that have not been completely mastered. Our math will consist of many “mini lessons” and “mini assessments” on previously taught material to ensure that students who previously were at mastery level are still there and students that had not mastered a standard have the opportunity for additional instruction and practice so that they may be reassessed. With that being said some of the IXL Objectives will be repeated for additional practice.
