What has been going on in second grade? In reading, your child has been utilizing strategies and skills to help them understand the stories and the characters involved better. We have been continuing to make inferences/draw conclusions during independent reading through the use of sticky notes. The use of sticky notes is a great way for you to monitor your child's reading. Your children can summarize, react, predict or comment on what they have been reading. This gives you a "sneak peak" as to what your child is thinking and understanding about a story that they have read independently. We have been utilizing this strategy at school and therefore your children should be familiar with how to use sticky notes at home when reading. A good rule of thumb is to have your child write a sticky note every 3-5 pages to ensure that they are thinking about their reading. Your children have just begun writing letters to me about the books they have been reading independently. They have been using their sticky notes to write these letters. I will be writing back and forth with them, commenting on what they have written and answering questions they might have about what they are reading.  We just began Unit 10 in math. This unit we will be learning about money. The skills introduced in this unit are: understanding the values of money, writing money in dollar-and-cents notation, estimating and finding actual costs, making change and grouping number models with the use of parentheses and solving problems with parentheses (order of operations)   Please continue to pratice addtion with regrouping and subtraction with borrowing (with 3-digit numbers) as that is an important skill to be practiced. In Science, we are learning about what causes day and night. We have also discussed how the Earth orbits the sun and rotates on an imaginary line called an axis. This rotation process causes day and night.  Please sign up for my Newsflash--- just click on the Newsflash tab and enter your information to get a text message or email when I update my webpage!
