I am very excited to have you join my Second Grade Class. This year we will be learning many new things which include expanding your vocabulary, reading fluently with expression, and beginning the use of a dictionary. Together with Fundations and Guided Reading, our literacy program will build your confidence and strengthen your skills to increase your reading levels. I will be introducing you to poetry and we will be reading and creating book reports together. In Math, we will be able to add single and multi-digit numbers with regrouping. We will also be learning different strategies for adding and subtracting numbers. We will be learning how to tell time and measurement. One of the activities that I know you will enjoy is our in-class Math and Spelling Bees and Jeopardy games. What a fun-filled year you will have!
