We have included a chart as well as a slideshow to review common text features. Feel free to review the option that works best with the way you learn.

We have been learning about adding a group of two digit numbers together. Remember that we have learned different strategies to add double digit numbers because different brains learn different ways!

A. Play Addition War with regular cards. Take out all the face cards. Aces are worth 1.

- Flip two cards each
- Find the sum
- The player who says the sum the quickest wins the cards OR whoever has the highest sum wins.
If you don't have someone to play with, play against yourself by setting up two different sets of cards.

Looking for a challenge? Try this version!
Each person picks 4 cards.
Make two digit numbers to try to get the highest number possible.
Then add the numbers together to get the highest sum.
The person with the highest sum wins the cards.
B. We will be transitioning to subtraction in our next unit. It is vital that your child is able to answer addition facts to 20 fluently. Please work hard to practice these facts this week!

Fact fluency is VERY IMPORTANT when working with double digit addition. When your child knows facts fluently, that means he/she is able to determine the answer to an equation with sums to 20 with automaticity. (This means knowing the answer automatically without using his/her fingers, manipulatives, or counting on.) It is imperative that all second graders practice fact fluency for a minimum of ten minutes per day. Please spend 10 minutes practicing fact fluency on XtraMath. (10 minutes/day) You may also consider having your child practice with flash cards or another preferred tool for additional practice.

6. We have started a new writing unit! This week you started creating your own nonfiction book to teach someone about a topic you know a lot about.
*A. You have all chosen a topic for your book. Your focus this week is to plan out what you would like to teach about in each section; each section will be its own page. Remember, you will teach about one main idea per page. Put the section names on the top of each page. You might want to add sketches too. Next week, we will begin drafting together and adding words onto the bottom part of the page, so do not worry about that part during your independent days!
Here are a few example for you:
Topic: Running
Possible Sections/Pages
What You Need
Races
Safety
Topic: How To Take Care of A Dog
Possible Sections/Pages
Training
Feeding Your Pet
Exercise

7. Everyone in the world is living through a pandemic right now. Sometimes it feels like things are constantly changing and evolving, and sometimes things stay the same. Some days feel comfortable and easy, and some days feel hard and uncomfortable. What feelings are you having this week? Take a moment to think about what has happened in your life this week and how that has made you feel.
Write, draw, paint, make a video...think of a way to share how you are feeling. Find a safe person in your life to share these feelings with. You might call your grandmother or uncle, talk with your family at dinner, share your feelings with your teacher on Seesaw, or think of another safe person in your life to share your feelings with.
Always remember, you are amazing and you are LOVED.
