This week's news

Students were excited to have outdoor recess this week and we're looking forward to slightly warmer temperatures!  In class we had centers about Force and Motion and second graders began creating experiments to demonstrate Newton's Laws.  We will record the experiments using the iPads.  Ask your child about their experiment!

In math we're continuing to work on solving addition and subtraction word problems.  We've also been reviewing telling time and basic facts.

On Friday report cards will go home with students.  I am happy to discuss your child's progress or clarify questions you may have through email, a conference at school, or over the phone.   This quarter's report card will include comments about your child's strengths and next steps in their learning.  The National PTA has a wonderful guide to help parents understand math and language arts standards for each grade.  Check out what your child is learning in second grade here.
