Dear Parents and Guardians,

This is the last week of the 2nd marking period. We will officially be half way through the school year now.

Please note that we are collecting Boxtops for Education. You can send them in with your student to give to me.

Beginning next week, I will no longer be able to read the science and social studies benchmark tests to the students.  Log in instructions to our science book online were sent via email.. Click on the Grade 2 with audio book (A little microphone is on it.) and the site will read the selection aloud to your student as he/she reads to themselves.

We will work on the following skills in Reading this week:
• Main Idea of nonfiction

In Science this week, we will review for our upcoming chapter and benchmark test.

This week in Math the students will continue learning about fractions. Some students are still struggling with adding and subtracting 2 digit numbers with “carrying” and “borrowing”. This is a very difficult skill for 2nd graders so any extra help that you can provide at home would be greatly appreciated!

In Social Studies this week we will learn about Martin Luther King, Jr., and why we have a day to honor him.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Cindy Martie
