WELCOME TO 2nd GRADE! All Hands on Deck!- (This section will always have important information and upcoming news)

I am very excited to be teaching 2nd grade this year! Currently, we still do not have our student planners. We should be getting a shipment on September 1st. Hopefully, we will get them on time. Once your child has his/her planners, you will be required to check it and sign it every night.

Reading- We are starting our brand new reading program this week. Kids are to be reading 90% of our reading time. Reading time is a time to READ, READ, READ! We are working on picking just right books and building our reading stamina.

Reading Logs-I will be sending home reading logs starting next week. Your child is required to read to you for 20 minutes every night and have you initial or sign. This is part of their nightly homework. If needed, an older sibling may sign for you.

Writing- Our first writing unit is Narrative writing. Students will tell a true story from a moment in their life.

Word Work- We are reviewing 1st grade lessons this week and begin 2nd grade lessons next week.

Spelling-Next week, we will have our first spelling list and the spelling test will be at the end of the week. Make sure to have your child study for the spelling test.

Math- Our topic is add and subtract within 20.
