Week Overview
SEL/Morning Meeting - Family Communication (Unit 4)
Math - We compared fractions this week. Next week, we will learn about arrays and repeated addition to help build multiplication skills. This is not a 2nd grade standard and will not be assessed. Students will learn more and be assessed in 3rd grade. Please continue to work on addition and subtraction skills with your child; these are VERY important to success with multiplication and division.
Phonics Turtles reviewed long vowels with magic/silent e (CVCe) - save, theme, twice, joke, June. Flamingoes learned about more prefixes -- adding dis- (dislike, distrust).
Reading - We finished up recognizing nonfiction texts and gathering information from them. We will read fun read alouds the rest of the school year.
Writing - We did some end of the year writing activities.
Health- We learned about how the environment affects our health and how we can help protect it.

Have a terrific weekend,
