Hi Families!!!

Welcome to the second week of January, although it seems more like March weather out there.  We all quickly adjusted to our second grade schedule and dove back into our learning.    For a  complete update of our classroom happenings, please see our most recent newsletter.      Jan. 12 Newsletter  

For a quick peek at our adventures, check out these highlights:

Writing:  WOOHOO!!!!  We are moving on into non-fiction writing, in particular constructing “How To” pieces.

Reading: We are learning a new strategy to aide our comprehension of text called inferring. Click on the following link to learn more about the strategy and how you can help at home.  Inferring Parent Guide

Math:  Two digit addition continues to be our focus.   There is a NEW site where we can practice the strategies and concepts that we are learning.  The beauty of the site is that I assign the kiddos assignments and they are specific to our math content.  It is called TenMarks.  You can either click on the following link,  TEN MARKS, or it will be housed under the Math Links Tab on our blog.  Your child’s username and password will be sent home on Monday.

Word Study:  The words that we are focusing on these week are :  called, just, where, most, know

Don’t forget to visit the Word Study link located on our blog on the right hand side to practice these words throughout the week ( Unit 13).

Our classroom supply of dry erase markers and disinfecting wipes is getting VERY low.  If you would be willing to donate any of these items, we would be so grateful 🙂

Here’s to a great week ahead!

Love, Mrs. Kuieck 🙂
