 Weekly News for 2-P 9-6-24

*Sneakers Mondays for PE 

*Library books due back on Wednesdays

*Bath Book Bash Saturday at the Bath Library Park from 11:00 Am-4:00 Pm

*In math we have completed the beginning of the year math assessment and started Unit 1 of Reveal Math. So far we’ve worked on our math stories, problem solving strategies and math tools. We are reviewing number formation as needed and using math tools such as pattern block templates and number grids to practice basic addition facts. 

*During reading workshop we have been reading books and writing about them. I have started assessing each student’s reading and will use this information to set individual reading goals and plans. Students are doing Lexia daily, at their own level, which gives them sequential instruction that responds to their needs as they work.

*We kicked off our first writing unit on sentence structure, sentence elements and “about me” sentences. We learned to frame our sentences with capital letters and ending punctuation. 

*We did our first spelling pre-test on Friday and differentiated spelling lists will come home next week as we kick off our first unit on short a words. 

*Homework folders (which are plastic envelopes) will come home Monday for the first time with spelling lists and a book to read. We will add math homework soon. 

*We are off to a great start and today when the kids shared their favorite part of second grade so far, many of them said things like: seeing my friends every day, getting to do EVERYTHING, having fun at recess and specials, and reading lots of new books.  Yay, second graders!  There is a great year ahead of us!
