For the week of November 9-13, 2009:
Daily Language--Week 13. We begin each morning with Daily Language. Please
make sure your child is ON TIME so they don't get behind. This lesson covers
MANY language skills for 2nd grade. Our Daily Language quizzes
will usually be given on Friday. Each quiz will consist of several of the
sentences and examples done in class during that week. You can help your
child prepare by reviewing the weekly sheet sent home each Thursday.
MATH: We will complete Chapter 6: Number Concepts and Patterns. We will be
working with odd/even, numbers patterns, ordinal numbers, and
growing/repeating patterns. Test next week on Monday.
Remember to study for the -Doubles SUBTRACTION FAST FACTS quiz this WEDNESDAY.
Many children did VERY WELL on the 100 Fast Facts Addition test last week. If
yours did not, practice is the only answer. The more you practice, the faster
you get. :-)
We will periodically have UNANNOUNCED quizzes on these addition facts. Keep
reviewing at home.
