Book Bags/Nightly Reading
Your child should bring home a leveled "bag of books" each evening for his/her 20 minutes of nightly reading. We kindly ask that the books, with the table of contents card, stay in your child's backpack. *Bookbags are distributed each Monday and are turned in each Friday.
Math at Home
Please make sure your child is practicing addition and subtraction facts each night.
Here are some ways to practice in fun ways:
Practice math facts orally while you're driving somewhere.
Use flashcards and make it a game by trying to race the clock to see how many they can solve in a certain amount of time.
They also have many math apps downloaded to their school iPad that they can use at home.
Learning Commons
Please help your child find any missing library books so they can be returned. All library books are due by May 2.
Spring Cleaning?
Have you found the urge to purge? Are you cleaning out bookshelves and cabinets?
Your second-grade teachers will happily accept used picture books, early chapter books, puzzles, and games.
Books help us build classroom libraries and keep collections interesting and relevant. Old puzzles and games help us with cooperation, problem solving, creativity, and indoor recess.
Let us help you with your donation piles!
