Math Problem of the Week

Sandy learned 6 math facts yesterday.  Today she is studying 6 more.  How many math facts will Sandy know altogether?

Math

Please spend time practicing with your child as often as you can basic addition facts such as: 7+7, 6+4, 3+7, etc.  Being able to solve basic math facts quickly is an important part of second grade math.  Using flashcards or shaking a pair of dice are great ways to reinforce these basic facts.  Also counting money and telling time are additional areas you can work on at home with your child.

Guided Reading

Guided Reading is going very well within our classroom.  Please make sure your child is spending time every night reading one of their guided reading books that are sent home in their book bag.  The most important thing to remember about guided reading is that your child is reading books at his/her own level!

Phonics

In phonics your child sorted words containing oy and oi.  Your child also worked on fluency by reading several short passages that contained words that had the spelling pattern oy or oi within them.
