This is a great time for some real in-depth learning! We are working on double-digit math, main ideas and supporting details, different types of writing (transactional, narrative, persuasive etc.) and continuing our love of reading. Next week we will have another oral reading assessment by our district personnel. This checks rate (speed) and accuracy of oral reading for your student on a second grade level probe. Some ways you can help improve fluency include, having your student read with you as you read at a fairly brisk pace, read with a book on tape (check out from the library) or time them to see how many words they can read in 2 minutes. We work on this in class every day!!!

It is good to be back in the swing of things! We had fun on "Toy Share" day telling about a favorite toy. One of our students commented, "Wow, that Santa Claus sure is a nice guy isn't he?" These children are so sweet!
