2nd Grade Letter to Parents

Dear Second Grade Parents,

Below is the letter that was sent home with your student today. I have added a few items that I have put in bold print so you can see the differences. If your child was not in school today, I have packaged up the materials and put them in the office for you to pick up. Here is the letter.

We are really going to miss your students during the next four weeks without them.  It saddens us not to be with them and miss the opportunity to continue the amazing growth that has developed over these last few months.   It is our hope that you will help us continue this growth by supporting his/her education through some of the items we are both offering to you and sending home.   Here is a list of the learning we would love to see happen over this next month in order to ensure your child does not lose the great gains he/she has made.  

Visit our Lincoln School Symbaloo to access the sites: https://www.symbaloo.com/mix/stjosephpublicschools

  • Language Arts
    • Lexia Core 5 
    • RAZ
    • Reading Counts (available between 8-4 on weekdays)
    • Spelling City
    • Moby 
    • Wixie-be creative or work collaboratively on a project in Wixie
    • Respond to Weekly Flipgrids

  • Math
    • Math journal pages.  We are near the end of this journal so your students may do any of the unfinished pages.  We will not be correcting these, but are sending them home for extra paper practice. 
    • Regrouping Addition Math Problems:  Your child is somewhere in the process of 5 different pages of regrouping (carrying).  In order for them not to be behind when we return, they should complete these (some students are finished and can create their own problems or practice online).  
    • iXL
    • Moby
    • Math Game Bag Games
    • Flashcards

  • Mystery Science
    • Watch the blog for the weekly links.  We will submit a link for the Monday Mystery.  Students may vote via email from you or online on Flipgrid.   We will also give the link for the weekly mystery that can be tried at home.   Write or draw about the mystery in your writing notebook. Here is the link from this week’s Monday Mystery.  https://mysteryscience.com/mini-lessons/germs?code=418e3f509584b169f9f1558f216d881a

  • Social Studies:  We are currently talking about maps.  Our last two units are in civics and history of our community.  We will address these when we return.

Per the district letter, we will be posting enrichment and practice activities each week on Wednesday. A lot of these will be what you have read in this letter.

At the conclusion of the break, we will want the writing journal, hand-writing journal, and any math regrouping pages you received returned to school please.

Thank you for always supporting your child’s academic and emotional well-being.  We will be working remotely and monitoring student work. Please feel free to contact us by email if you have any questions, concerns, or would like further support.  We are happy to help any way we can. Take care and stay well.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Laukus and Mrs. Starks
