Word Work: Our class will be learning about the /oi/ syllable pattern this week. Our syllable pattern makes the sound as in coy, toil, and turmoil.    Students should read their word lists, discuss the meaning of the words, and practice spelling words with similar syllable patterns.  Spelling City is ready for students to access the practice list for the week. 


Math Fact Mastery: In 2nd grade we divide out our math facts into chunks that follow the order of addition facts to 10, subtraction facts to 10, addition facts 10-20, and subtraction facts 10-20.   At this time of year, your child should be at or above working on fluently adding facts 10-20.   Students have been practicing the facts in class individually and through games. 


Nightly Reading: Students' nightly reading routine should be spent reading at least 20 minutes. Ideally, it would be beneficial for students to read to an adult for half of the time.  Students may also read on RAZ.  Thank you for your support.
