Welcome To Second Grade 

 

 Dear Parents and Students, 

     Welcome to Second Grade! We are looking forward to being your teachers. There are many exciting things planned for this year. 

• In Religion, we will learn about our relationship with God. We will prepare for and receive the Sacraments of Penance and First Holy Communion. We will learn about the parts of the mass in preparation for our May Crowning Mass, which is a dedication to our love for Mary. 

• Our Reading series is filled with many fun and exciting stories. We will practice and improve your fluency and comprehension skills. We will work on our independent learning skills and stamina through our Daily 5 center activities. Our reading skills will be enhanced through our guided reading center. 

• Our math program will help you advance your addition and subtraction skills as well as practice money, time, measurement, geometry, multiplication, and fractions. It is very important you memorize your addition and subtraction facts to 18 over the summer. 

• We highly suggest students utilize the IXL.com website to practice their reading and math skills over the summer. Students know their username and password from first grade. It can also be found in the back of their first grade homework journal.

• In Science and Social Studies, we will explore plants, animals, Earth and its resources, weather, energy, motion, sound, map skills, our community, and our government.  

• All incoming second grade students are required to read a minimum of two books of their choice.

You may bring a snack and  a drink to school on the first day (no glass bottles, please). 

Enjoy your summer and stay safe! We look forward to seeing you in September.
