The spelling test this week will be on final -e and it is on Friday, 10/30/20. Our words to practice at home this week are hate, cube, stage, five, & whole. There will be 10 words on the spelling test that follow the pattern each week. We are only allowed to give half of the words that will be on the test before the test. We will practice the pattern in class all week. Students can also practice on Spelling City.
In grammar we are working on the irregular verbs give, take & come.
We are in Chapter 4 in Math on 2-digit addition. In class we will go over many different strategies. If you find the homework confusing, feel free to have them stack the numbers on top of each other an add them. We show them different ways to help them understand the thinking behind it.
We will have an addition quiz the facts for six, seven & eight on Friday, 11/13/20. The quiz will have 20 facts in random order. The quiz is timed and they will have one minute to complete all 20 problems. The course of study states that 2nd grade students must be able to fluently add and subtract and know all of the sums by memory. Students need to memorize the facts because they will not have time to count on their fingers during the quiz.
Please send water bottles to school daily.
Computers need to come back and forth to school daily. Please charge the computers at home each night. Keeping chargers at home reduces the risk of losing them. Thank you for your help with this.
