This week we will be reading Unit 6 Week 1 Just Like

Josh Gibson .
This is crunch time for Young Authors completion. I will be sending home periodic updates on what
your child is missing that they can make up at home.
The book is not mandatory so if you and your child
choose to not participate then that is acceptable.
Our next Study Trip will be to the Wilhelma Zoo.
When we get final approval of the date, I will send out
the permission slips
Our new math program differs slightly from
the previous years. There is more of a focus on Math
stories and problem solving using a strong understanding of the Base 10 System. These concepts require a
foundation of skill fluency in addition, subtraction and
grouping. While we do practice our basic facts in class
there is not enough time to practice to fluency.
MobyMax is the perfect program to practice and reinforce skills and also to fill in the gaps, in other words
opportunities to learn that your child may have missed
due to absences, family travel or PCSing. Please see
that your child completes their 10 minutes of
MobyMax Monday through Thursday evenings. For the
next week please sit with them and see that they are
actually reading the lessons. MobyMax is programmed
to assign your child concepts that they have not yet
mastered. If your child simply clicks through the lesson without reading and understanding it then they will
not be able to progress through the program and learn
all the needed second grade skills.
