READING:

SRC is officially done!  Congratulations to all of the second graders!  They earned a lot of points and many fun prizes!  It took a great deal of dedication and many hours of reading.  Way to go!!!  Second graders will not have SRC reading homework for the remainder of the year.  However,  please continue to have your child read to complete the reading challenge sent home earlier this month.  

To be at grade level, students need to leave second grade reading at a level M.  By November of their third grade year they need to be at a level N.  It will be extremely important for your child to read all summer to maintain the skills they have and continue their reading growth.   

WRITING:

Our goal this week has been to write in such a way that teaches the reader about a particular science topic.  Students took time researching facts about their topics.  This allowed students to have sufficient facts, details, and examples to include in their writing.  Students turned in their final writing piece for the year today.  I am excited to read all of their informational writing pieces to see how they have grown as writers this year.  

MATH:

Students completed our unit 6 math assessment last week.  Please look for your child's test paper in next week’s Friday folder.  We are now working through our LAST math unit for the year.  We are learning about arrays, fractions, and number lines.  Look for a review test coming home next week.
