Dear Parents,
This week in 2nd grade, we started an amazing adventure! We began reading a historical fiction book called The Bravest Dog Ever: The True Story of Balto.
This book follows Balto as he saves the children of Nome, Alaska by carrying much needed medicine over what is now the Iditarod Trail. The class loved following the Iditarod race on the site below!
We even got to got to ALASKA! Well, we got to Skype Gideon's grandma in Alaska and it was super cool!
We will continue with this book next week, focusing on main idea and details. The class will also zoom in and practice their text detective skills in learning more about the race and the sled dog breed.
In math, we spent some much needed time reviewing for our third quarter math assessment and also practicing regrouping with triple digit addition and subtraction. Here is a video of one of our favorite geometry songs from our review this week!
Math homework sheet: Remember this is optional but it is a great way to have your students teach you what they are learning in class. (Just click the image below to download. If you need a paper copy, just let me know.)
Be sure to check out FRONT ROW with your 2nd grader. It is a fantastic site that the students have been LOVING!
You can head to our Links for Kids tab above to get the passcode to enter. Your kiddo knows how to do this-let them teach you!
