Dear second grade families, We're all working hard in second grade, and we're so proud of the progress the students are making in both their reading and writing and as mathematicians. They're growing into confident and enthusiastic learners!
As we move through September, we'll have a special activity to celebrate Fiestas Patrias. You can find all the information and the links you need for the activity right here in this email. 2A 2B 2C
We appreciate all your support!
Learning Goal
Second-grade readers will use story elements to understand and retell stories. They will also learn about a character's traits and look for patterns in books by the same author. In phonics, they will focus on using capital letters correctly and exploring homophones (words that sound the same but have different meanings).
Reading Workshop: Students will identify key story elements like the setting, characters, problem, and solution. They'll use these elements to retell a story in the correct order. The class will also explore how characters' personalities and actions stay consistent across different books in a series.
Phonics Workshop: Students are practicing the rules for using capital letters, such as at the beginning of a sentence, for proper nouns (names of people and places), and for the pronoun "I." They're also learning about homophones like "to," "too," and "two" to help them choose the correct spelling in their writing.
Be a Story Detective: After reading a book, ask your child to identify the characters, setting, and the problem and solution. Then, have them retell the story to you in their own words.
Character Study: If your child loves a book series, ask them to describe the main character. "What kind of person is [character's name]?" or "What do they usually do in the books?"
Capital Letter Hunt: When your child is reading, challenge them to find all the capital letters on a page and explain why they're used (e.g., at the start of a sentence or for a name).
Homophone Help: Point out homophones in everyday conversation. For example, "Can you hand me the pair of socks?" and then write the two different meanings of "pair" (a set of two) and "pear" (the fruit) to show the difference.

Learning Goal
Students will use different strategies to add and subtract up to 20.
Next week, mathematicians will be solving one step addition and subtraction story problems with sums and minuends to a 100.
Have Ss solve the following story problems. 1-There were 12 ladybugs on a leaf. Some more ladybugs came. Then there were 19 ladybugs on the leaf. How many ladybugs came? 2- Bob made 15 paper airplanes. Tim made 7 paper airplanes. How many more paper airplanes does Bob have?
