Today was another great day in second grade! We have started reviewing the first 60 “No Excuse” spelling words that students should have learned in kindergarten and first grade. In writing, we are still discussing and learning how writer’s workshop will work as well as how to manage our writer’s workshop tools. The students had the opportunity to write me a letter telling me about themselves. In math, we are adding by counting on. You can visit the following website to help your student with their math at http://tinyurl.com/saccoccio-math if needed.  In reading, we learned about picking books that are appropriate for ourselves by learning a song called IPICK.  We also finished our social contract today and agreed upon how we wanted to treat each other.  This week has really flown by.  Make sure to read the note that went home today regarding the pep rally if you are planning to take your child.  Also, it is important to check your child’s folder and planner each night and sign the planner.
