Parent Conferences and Fractions

Hi Parents!

We have had a wonderful two weeks back to school. We have been focusing hard on fractions. Starting this we, we are going to change our focus to geometry and shapes.

 

In reading we are focusing on cause and effect. However, the main thing we are doing is our TPRI test which is the reading test I give to the students at the beginning, middle, and end of the year. I can’t wait to share the results at our parent conferences!

 

Speaking of parent conferences, I am trying something new with the sign up .Next week I will email this link out to everyone, but for now readersof this blog get first dibs. Please use the link below to sign up for one of the times I have listed.

MLK week

Reminder: NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY, time to celebrate MLK

 

 

We're off to a great year and your kids are learning about so many things.

 

In Language Arts we've been learning about cause and effect and main idea. When your child

reads, take a minute when their done and ask them what happened in the story and what was the effect of that event. Or ask them what was the "Main Idea" of the book/story.

 

In Math we are learning about fractions and the kids are getting it. The students appear to like fractions. We have covered halves, fourths, eighths, and whole parts.

 

In IC we wrapped up patriotism with several videos of the kids singing patriotic songs. The songs will be aired on the morning announcements as time permits.

Our new unit is about our government. Your student is learning about our local, state and federal government.

Thanks for keeping up with your kids through our second grade blog.

Also, my conferences will be on February 6th, please look out for a link to schedule conferences or a paper going home.

Welcome Back!!

Hi Parents!

I hope that you had a wonderful time with your students on break. I missed them!

Please remember to send students to school with a coat. It’s going to be very cold for the next couple of months. Also, snack would be very much appreciated. 7:00 to 12:30 is a long time to go without any food.

In math this week we are focusing on fractions! Keep an eye out for things that are cut into halves, fourths, and eighths and have you child identify what fraction it is.

In reading we are working on cause and effect. Keep up with those reading logs! You can have your child write about something that happened during the day. Then have them write what was the cause and what was the effect.

No tutoring this week!

Tutoring will start on the 20^th of January and last until 4:30.
