Hi Parents/ Guardians,
Welcome to December. The students are doing so much work and we are in a good routine. We are reading "A Chair for my Mother" & "Alexander Who Used to be Rich Last Sunday." We are focusing on looking for text evidence and key ideas and details. The level of questioning is getting higher at this time and so should the responses. You can work on this at home by asking open ended question like: How would you summarize______? or what would happen if____? I will send home a sheet for you to use at home as well.
In Math we are working on Doubles Facts. As we continue to move on the children's work will get more involved. The students not only have to show their work but explain how they arrived at a particular answer.
We also have some fun holiday activities as well.
As always you can reach me at school at 718-847-3370 or
e-mail me at: iteach2graders@gmail.com
