Happy Monday Everyone!
I hope everyone had a pleasant weekend. We had a beautiful day to start off our new week! It was wonderful to go
outside for recess today :)
We are wrapping up Topic 8 in math, adding two digit numbers with regrouping. It was called "carrying" when I was in school! We will have our test on Wednesday. Your student has their study guide in their take home folder today. This is due by Wednesday.
You can give your child extra practice by having them add two digit numbers that they will and won't have to regroup or "carry" -
54+18= ?, 21+15=?, etc. Next we will start subtraction with regrouping, or "borrowing" as it was called when I was in school.
Subtraction is a big concept for second grade!
I have heard from several students that they are having trouble pulling up the Journeys book online. If you would prefer your
child to bring their book home, we can do that - just let me or your child know.
Homework this week:
Monday - Thursday: math facts practice due Tuesday, study spelling words, math study guide due by Wednesday, reading and spelling homework due by Friday
Wednesday - math addition with regrouping test
Friday - reading and spelling tests
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Have a wonderful week!
Mrs. Kane
