Students need to develop reading stamina, the ability to read independently for longer periods of time. As 2nd graders, some students may be ready to read chapter books and read for a longer time. Still many of them cannot read very long books so they may have to read several shorter books .
This is okay. In fact, it's wonderful! Re-reading a favorite book helps children become better readers. They will read more smoothly and begin to sound like a big kid reader, adding emphasis and expression.

Read at least 20 minutes each day with your child. Fit it in whenever you can. Take a few books
Read at least 20 minutes each day with your child. Fit it in whenever you can. Take a few books
- to every sport practice and game for the waiting times--between games or while siblings have games
- to music lessons and doctor's appointments where children sometimes have to wait
- in the car so they can read to you when you are stuck in traffic .
- to the couch and snuggle together to share a favorite book!
Lastly, remember to read to your child. They need to hear what good reading aloud sounds like from you, too. Sharing books that you loved as a child and new favorites you find together at the library will become cherished childhood memories for your sons and daughters.

Math is a normal part of every day. This year your child really needs to build an understanding of our BASE TEN number system. We will work constantly on knowing "what makes ten" and seeing "tens" in our adding, subtracting and in all kinds of number situations. They will need to become efficient in taking bigger numbers apart and grouping the parts into tens so that adding and subtracting are easily done "in their heads." Honestly, you will be amazed at what they can do!

So practicing with your child is the BEST way to help them about numbers. We will be learning simple games using cards or dice that they will come home to teach you and play at home. Ask your child to play a game and have some family fun together!There are aslo some sites on our Clever Portal and others I can share with you such as, XtraMath , Oswego Math Addition or ABCYA Jet Ski Addition
