We sure have been busy in 2nd grade lately! Here are a few updates and reminders:
*As I'm sure you've noticed based on the work that has been coming home, the 2nd graders have been learning how to solve 2-digit subtraction problems with regrouping in math! This tends to be a tricky concept for 2nd graders and they benefit from as much practice as they can get. We have been working hard on it in school! I highly recommend having your child complete any of the optional math sheets that come home related to 2-digit subtraction.
*In reading, the students are working on their individual reading goals with an extra focus on fluency. Please make sure your child is reading at home each and every night for at least 20 minutes!
*In phonics, the students are working on ways to solve tricky words and spelling words with suffixes.
*In Social Studies, we are continuing to work on our Important People in History unit. The students are working on researching their chosen person and coming up with a timeline to show off the most important events in their lives.
**As a reminder, parent-teacher conferences are this week on Tuesday and Thursday night. I'm looking forward to meeting with all of you to discuss your child's growth and goals for the remainder of the year! :)
**There is no school this Friday, February 28th!
