Math
We use a math curriculum called Go Math. It is aligned with the Common Core State Standards and spirals all the math concepts that second grade students need to know to gain their foundational math skills. Math homework will come home Mon-Thurs each week It will be marked HW or Homework. There will be no homework on Friday. Information with your child's log in information will be sent home in the near future. Homework that is assigned will be due the next day. Please be sure to check over your child's work before it is returned to me the next morning. |
Writing and Handwriting Students will learn to write for 3 purposes: narrative, explanatory, and opinion. Students will learn to write a paragraph. A paragraph will include a topic sentence, 3 details, and a closing sentence. Writing is not taken for a grade. We have been practicing correct letter and number formation since the beginning of school. Please be sure to assist your child with this while checking their homework. The extra support at home will help this your child commit these correct formations to their rote memory. Social Studies
