MATH
We are learning all about mental math strategies to add and subtract in our heads to do math quicker. This is a tough concept, so I encourage kids to find a strategy that works for them! We are finishing up mental meth next week and at this point, I'm planning to give the test Thursday. Students are welcome to do our addition and subtraction HyperDocs at home to review!
READING
We are focusing in on what it means to visualize while we read and reviewing making connections.
WRITING
We finished persuasive writing up this week and Mr Jefferson told us his final decision... NO SCHOOL on weekends and summers! Whew. That was close call. Thanks to our second graders' persuasive pieces we will still have our weekends and summers :) Next week we start poetry!
*Cursive Week 5 is next week! Blogpost above^. Remember to try to help keep your child accountable with their time management to get it finished. They've been doing a great job so far!
