Dear 2nd Grade Families, Our FAST testing is complete and everyone improved and did a fabulous job. I’m so excited about our growth. Keep reading at home! I love to see the continued and growing interest in books and I am excited to see more students developing an interest in certain series! If there is a book or series of books that your child likes and I don’t have it, let me know! I’m always looking to increase my library! In math, we will test over adding 2-digit numbers this week; after that we start subtraction. In social studies, each student is researching his/her own state. They are learning a lot of fun facts about their state! Our mealworms are continuing to eat and hide in their bin and our caterpillars are crawling around! tanyawaltersclassroom.weebly.com ---I am continuing to add math and reading sites, so please keep checking it out! I just added spelling lists to it as well! ---Keep checking and signing your child’s planner. If you haven’t seen it yet, ask them about it! ---Our school collects box tops, so if you notice any of these on canned foods, boxed food, cereal, tissues, anything, please save them and send with your child to school. ---Book Bags can be returned each morning if your child is ready for a new book. Keep filling out the calendar and tracking your reading each day/night! A January calendar was sent home before break.

Dear 2nd Grade Families, Winter is here, in some strange way; please send your child with appropriate winter gear for outside recess! Next week is our FAST testing. I will listen to each child read 3 different stories. This will show me their growth over the school year, thus far. We will continue our fluency at school and keep up the hard work of reading at home! I look forward to seeing our growth! We are working on 2-digit addition in math. Everyone seems to be picking it up pretty quickly! Test your child and see how they are doing! In social studies, we have worked through communities and map skills. We will start to discuss Iowa and the United States. Science will be starting up with some additional creatures joining our room!! Happy Friday!
