Reading:
Students should be reading with fluency at a 2.7 reading level.  Students should now be reading 30 minutes a night for third quarter. Please listen to your child read several times a week if not every night.  Ask your child questions after each chapter or at the end of each book.  We hope you use your HOTS questions given at Parent Night or at the parent conference.  Ask all different types of questions about your child's text.  Be sure to ask your child to summarize/retell the story to you also.
We are teaching children different types of genres in reading.  Please help expose your child to different forms of reading text.  Examples of the types of genres your child should be reading are recipes, magazines, plays, poems, fables, fiction, nonfiction and how to books.

Math:Second graders should truly master all addition facts to sums and differences of 18.  So many other math operations depend upon true mastery of facts.  Please continue to encourage your child's mastery of facts. Second grade is focusing on problem solving.  Students should learn how to read the problem carefully, set up the problem using pictures, words, equations (number sentences) in order to answer the problem.  The student should be able to write a number sentence (equation).  We will now start regrouping in addition and subtraction.  This is hard for students at times.  Please monitor and assist at home as needed.  We are also starting to teach geometry in third quarter.  Help your child find geometry around them in so many ways.

Science and Social Studies: Most of the science and social studies are integrated into our reading and writing curriculum. Second grade will focus on recycling and our use of natural resources. We will study sound and how the ear works. PLEASE SEND IN ALL YOUR RECYCLABLES FROM HOME!  We will also start to study sound and how the ear works.

Written Expression: Students should be writing with details and elaboration while following the five finger outline. First finger is the opening which tells when, where, what and who. The second, third and fourth fingers tell step by step with details the middle of the story. The fifth finger is the ending and may repeat the beginning topic and how the student feels about the topic. Always have an illustration.  Students should now begin to write in paragraph format.  Take the five finger story and indent to form five paragraphs on one topic with a beginning, middle and an end.
