Math Homework

Homework will be posted under the "Math" topic in the "Classwork" tab on our Google Classroom.

Math homework consists of a short 5-question "Quick Check" that reviews what we learned that day. It is all online, so no need to physically turn anything in.

Each assignment is assigned at 9:00am and due at midnight.

D.I.R.T

Daily Independent Reading Time (D.I.R.T.) is an important part of our second grade program this year in 2TA. As part of your homework, you will read a total of 50 minutes at home each week.

Please choose a book you will enjoy and one that is not too difficult or easy for you. You may read independently or aloud to a friend or family member.

In the “D.I.R.T.” topic on Google Classroom, there will be a spreadsheet to keep track of all the books you have read each week. Starting each Wednesday, write in the title of the book, number of pages you read, and how long you read. This will be due the following Wednesday and it will count towards you “staying on track.”

Happy reading!

Since reading is an essential part of second grade please feel free to to purchase books online form Scholastic.com

2T's Class Code is: HLNZW
