This past week we began our reading unit which focuses on the theme question, “What do my different roles say about me?” We continued to practice our classroom routines and began small reading groups. I truly enjoy getting to know each of my readers; they are already blowing me away with their abilities :) This week we will begin our first inquiry project, where your child will interview another student about their different roles at home, school, and in the community.

 We will finish up unit one in math, which focused on numbers and routines and will begin unit two, addition and subtraction strategies. For spelling, we will practice long vowel patterns. Please remind your second grader that their spelling packet is due Friday. We will also continue exploring the traits that make great writers. I am excited for a wonderful week!
