SOCIAL STUDIES AND SCIENCE TESTS THIS WEEK

The Unit 1 Social Studies Test will be on Thursday, September 3rd, and the Earth Science Unit 1 Test will be on Friday, September 4th. For these tests, we will review in class, and the Studies Weekly, along with a study guide, will be sent home with your child on the nights before the tests.

ROCKET MATH

In 2nd grade, we will be implementing Rocket Math which is a structured curriculum for practice and mastery of math facts and are leveled A-Z. The students are given individual goals based on a timed test they took. Everyone starts with level A in addition. If the students reach their goals and complete that many problems in one minute, then they move on to the next level. Otherwise, the students stay on the same level until they reach their goals at that level.

ROCKET MATH HAS TAKEN OFF!

Rocket Math has blasted off in 2nd grade! We do Rocket Math Monday- Thursday. If your child doesn’t reach his/her level on the previous day, he/she will bring the timing home to practice. Please practice math facts with your child 5-10 minutes nightly during the week or have your child practice on his/her own. Some suggestions for math practice are to use flashcards, internet sites, Rocket Math sheets, or written or oral practice.

NO SCHOOL NEXT MONDAY

There will be no school next Monday, September 7th due to the Labor Day holiday. I hope everyone has a wonderful and relaxing weekend!
