Hello second grade families! Our year has gotten off to a great start! This month we will be working on consonant blends, long vowel sounds, and letters that make more than one sound. We will also be focusing on finding key ideas and details in different kinds of text. In math we will be starting to work on addition and subtraction. Please make sure your child comes to school every day and on time. We start our day with phonics instruction, so it is very important for your child to be present at that time. We have a field trip scheduled to Lincoln Park Zoo on Tuesday, October 21st. Your child cannot have more than two absences or two reflections after receiving the permission slip in order to attend the field trip. If you have any questions about this policy, please contact me or the administration. Thank you to everyone who has been making sure their child is doing their homework every night. I am grateful for all of your support! If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
