Week of Sept. 11 - MAP testing Reading & Math

Reading - We will continue benchmark testing this week. Our class is focusing on building community and getting to know each other. We've been going over expectations for Daily 5 and have been building stamina during Read to Self and Read to Someone. This week we will work on Work on Writing and Word Work. We've talked about Good Fit books and have "shopped" for books to use during Daily 5.
Reading Logs - Your child brought home a reading log inside a colored folder today. Second graders are expected to read for 20 minutes most nights. After your child has completed their reading log, read for 21 days, initial their folder and return it to school. The class will be voting on a special reward for everyone who returns their completed reading log!
Math - We've been working on addition strategies to help us add. We've been learning some new math games this week and we'll use them in our "Work Places" (stations) next week.
Science - We have started a unit on Nutrition and have been introduced to the Royal Food Family. This week we learned about the Milk Group and why it is important to eat foods from all 5 food groups. Next week we will learn about King Henry the Egg and the Meat Group foods.
New Student of the Week - Kylah
Estimation Jar Winner - Peter
