Welcome 2011-2012 2nd Grade Students and Parents!
We are well on our way in Class D-8 for the new year. I am really excited about our year together. We have been talking about what is expected for our 2nd grade year. Students can expect to learn new concepts in all subject areas(2nd grade CA standards), to be better communicators, and the rules for formal situations ( like school). Today we learned about the neurons in our brain. Students learned that they are in charge of building their brains. I will add the video we watched to the Parent Page this week from home ( we don’t have access to YouTube at school). My email address is on your child’s homework folder if you need to get a hold of me. Let’s make it a happy and productive year!
Spring Break Packets
Students have 2 packets to work on during spring break. These packets should not take very long to finish. They are a review of all of the standards we have learned during the year. The students will be tested on these standards on the CST (California Standards Test) during the week of May 9th. See the post below for links to information.
Language Arts & Math California Standards Test (CST)
Students in 2nd grade will have the testing split up over 7 days (Monday, May 9th will be a practice test). Click on the links below to see released test questions for math and language arts.
New Math Games & Lang. Arts
Check out the math games on under Student Math. Also, I have added a few new language arts games. The synonym game is great!
Time to Return!
I am looking forward to see you all on Monday, January 10th. I have added a Webquest website under Social Studies links that we will be doing together this week. You may want to check the websites that are linked under the process section of the website. Hope you have been working on your high frequency words and addition/subtraction facts!
