Fridays are our day to catch up on work for the week, complete your special's work and explore fun, optional activities.

Here are some Friday suggested activities to make learning fun!

• Read for pleasure! We can build reading stamina by reading at least 20 minutes each day. Pick a book from home, Epic, or RAZ kids and practice second grade reading strategies by reading for 20 minutes.

• Free write Friday! We can build writing skills and writing stamina for 15-20 minutes each day. Write a card for a friend, a story for fun, a letter, a poem, write a story in chalk, whatever your heart desires.

• Math Fact Fluency: Practice your addition and subtraction facts! The app "Speed Drill" is a great way to practice.

The second grade teachers will be available to answer emails during their scheduled office hour.

😎 Have a happy Friday! 😎
