Announcements:
*** Another great week!  Thank you for all the support and helpful supplies that have been sent to our class this week!


*** Our second grade Language Arts curriculum has a ”Getting Started” section.  It is designed as a quick review of important reading skills that will remind students of previous learning and get them ready for learning in the new school year.  These lessons also introduce and review key routines of the program.  In addition, it is an effective way to evaluate what the students already know and what they need to know to be successful in second grade.  This section does not have spelling lists, so we will not have spelling words right away.   I am excited to implement this program with the students!  Thank you for your support!


*** Study addition math facts 0-20 each night.  We will have a timed math quiz every week.


*** Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.  Thanks again!

Homework Getting Started 1

Homework Assignments


Our second grade class has decided that we would like to focus more on math computation, spelling, and reading.  We came up with a little plan that we would like to implement. Instead of our traditional homework, the students want to devote their homework time to reading, math facts, and spelling.  Our normal homework will be done in class.


The following are suggestions for studying these subjects.  You may try these ideas or be creative and come up with your own.  Do anything that works for your child or that he/she seems to enjoy.


Reading: Just read, read, read!  Read the 2nd Grade “SRA Decodable Stories” and anything that is of interest to the student for at least 15 minutes.


Math: Study addition facts to 20 using flash cards, flash card apps, computer games, call out and answer verbally, etc.


Spelling: Write sentences with words, practice writing words, spellingcity.com, spelling bees, make up games, etc.  Spelling words will be sent home weekly.


After your child completes the assignment in each area, please initial in the appropriate box daily.

Thank you for your assistance with our plan.  We’ll let you know our results.
