Well Fall is certainly in the air! We are learning so much in second grade. We are working on problem solving in math. A new component to that is explaining your thinking.... where the student writes out the steps they did to solve the problem. You will be seeing this in homework and I just want you to know that it is writing the STEPS that they did, so words like first, next and then, should help them get it all down.
With the cooler Fall mornings, but warmer afternoons, you might want to send a jacket with your child. If they tend to leave it laying around, you might want write their name in it. Our recess is right after lunch at 12:45. Next week is Fall Break. No school! Enjoy your extra time with your child!
