Week of Nov. 16th –

Happy American Education Week!!
This week in our classroom we will be continuing to
learn about adding double digit numbers together and how to
carry over groups of ten. Please practice at home as much as
possible and encourage them to show their work. Our test will
be on Tuesday, November 17th. Then we will start
subtraction.
In social studies, we are continuing our study of 3
different Native American tribes: Powhatan, Lakota Sioux, and
Pueblo. Make sure to review the study guide each night with
your child to make sure they can decipher between the 3
different tribes. The study guide was in their Monday folder
last week. Test will be on Friday
American Education week for 2nd grade is on Monday
Nov. 16th. I invite all my parents to participate in American
Education Week with us. This is a chance for parents to come
into the classroom for an activity and then we all go to the
book fair as a group.  Please do not feel like you have to
attend, but everyone is welcome! You can eat lunch with your
kiddo from 11:40 – 12:10. Then join us at the Book Fair
from 12:10 – 12:30, and come in the classroom to view our
habitat projects from 12:30 – 1:00.
Don’t forget to continue to practice math facts at
home. I have links on my website if any students would like
additional practice.  Reflex and Dreambox are both available
to students anytime.
RAZ kids is available for all students to use at home for their
nightly reading.
