Week of August 15th-19th

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
We have lots of learning going on this week. Here is a copy of this week’s newsletter: 2nd Grade Newsletter August 15th-19th
In the newsletter you will find our homework schedule for the week. We learned our new focus, challenge, and sight words for the week. Our focus words cover the short vowel sounds for e, i, and u. We will be learning the “Short Vowel Beat” to help us remember these sounds. A copy came home tonight (in the green poetry folder) so you can practice at home. You will find our weekly fluency passage inside the clear sheet protector. Practice this each night. I will record your child’s reading fluency on Friday.
Calculating Fluency Formula: Time your child for one minute.
Words read - errors= Fluency Rate (Our goal by the END of 2nd grade is 90 Words Per Minute)
We are reviewing our basic addition facts and strategies this week in math. A practice sheet went home in your child’s folder. It is for the whole week…just a few problems a night. :) Your child can turn in the whole practice sheet on Friday morning.
I know that was a lot of information…let me know if you have any questions. lellington@paulding.k12.ga.us
