ASK ME ABOUTS:
Ask me about...
- inclusion...How can we take care of each other and make sure that everyone counts?
- what I have learned from reading non-fiction this week. What is the first thing we do when we pick up a new non-fiction text?
- the games Race 100 and Race to 0 that we played this week.
- my Plus Time group. What did I work on this week?

LOOKING FORWARD:
Looking forward, we will:- continue learning about and reading non-fiction. Please consider providing non-fiction texts for your child at home.
- finish our work in unit 6 in fundations, focusing on reading and writing v-e syllables.
- begin a new writing unit focusing on writing non-fiction. Please talk with your child about any talents or interests that they have that they may want to write non-fiction books about.
- work with time and money. At home, please practice telling time on analog and digital clock.s By the end of second grade, students are expected to tell time to the nearest 5 minutes, using a.m and p.m. Also have your child count coins and make change when paying for items. For example, pretend that they bought something that cost 36 cents and they paid with $1. What coins could they pay with and what coins would they receive in return? How much change would they receive?
- begin learning about the Sun, Moon and Earth through videos, direct observation, non-fiction and fiction texts, poetry, making models and discussion.
