2nd Grade Overview
January 31 - February 6
MATH: We will be in Unit 5, which is designed to help students solidify their understanding of place value to 1,000. Using a variety of manipulatives, students will create and count bundles (or groups) of 5s, 10s and 100s. They will also practice adding and subtracting using the vertical standard algorithm. We will also be working with coins to build money amounts within a dollar.
READING: We will start our new F&F unit on Important Details.
**Please have your child read for ten minutes each night. Include time for your child to practice reading aloud to you as well.
SPELLING/PHONICS: We will be on List 19.
The test will be on Friday, February 6.
This list focuses on the final stable syllable (dle, tle, stle and zle).

A few reminders:
-February AR Goal is 6 points.
-The rooms can be cold, so your child may need a sweater/sweatshirt (follow the uniform guidelines) to wear in the classroom.
-Students may also need a water bottle that they can use in the classroom, but also outside for recess.
-Please make sure to label your child’s water bottle and sweaters/sweatshirts.
