Fortis Second Grade Tues/Thurs March 27-March 31

 Hi Parents!

Starting this week. Please have your child bring the red History folder every Tuesday and the Boxcar booklet every Thursday.  These are the days that I will grade them.  Also, the students came home yesterday with our new Math Fact Practice sheet.  I will be handing out a new packet on Tuesday. We will be starting with addition and then moving to subtraction. There are 81 problems and the time limit is 4 minutes.

Have a great weekend!
