Welcome back! I have missed each of my students and can't wait to see them again! We will be doing a fair amount of review this week but are diving right in with math. Please make sure you place the Singapore 2B Workbook and Textbook in your student's backpack.
Math- We will continue learning the multiplication tables 1-10, but we are revisiting the mental math strategies we used in the first quarter, including addition and subtraction with renaming (borrowing) with units of money and time so please continue to practice all math facts.
Reading-This semester there will be more of a writing component to our reading assignments, many in class but some at home also. I am starting a writing curriculum, Writing With Ease, that you will see on the blog, but only used at school so we can practice some of the elements of style to better prepare for the formal writing curriculum you will see in third grade. We have officially finished OPG but I encourage you to go back and review lessons your student struggled with for mastery on light days. Our first reader for this quarter will be Saint George and the Dragon, starting in two weeks so please make sure you have purchased it.
