Many students in our class applied for the
Wee Deliver program this week and the candidates have been hired! Wee Deliver is a school-wide writing/mail program that is ran by teachers and students. Many students applied and interviewed for the second grade job positions and we talked about congratulating our classmates that were chosen for the prestigious jobs!
It has been a pleasure to meet with parents for conferences this week. I thank you for your time and appreciate your perspective! Many parents asked for
ways to help their child at home. Continuing to read and talk about books each day will greatly benefit your second grader. Also, encouraging your child to write at home is helpful as well (a letter to a family member or friend, the shopping list, a story about a special day you had, etc.). In math, practicing basic facts (a 1-digit number added to a 1-digit number) through games or online activities would be great. You could play "Addition War" with playing cards where each player flips two cards and the higher sum wins. Have your child count up the money in a coin jar or tell you the time. Also- try these fun, interactive games online!
