PILGRIM DOLL PRESENTATIONS
I felt so proud when the children presented their Pilgrim dolls to classmates and parents the week before Thanksgiving. Each child worked very hard on this project as they researched their family history, created their doll to represent a family member who immigrated to the United States, and presented it with confidence. I am so proud of their efforts and successes. Thank you for being such an integral part of this assignment and for the many positive comments. I know they were thrilled to be able to share this with you, and I thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to come and join us. HOME MATH PRACTICE Please continue to practice telling time to the minute with your child outside of school. Our class has a good grasp of this, but for many it’s a concept that needs to be practiced more. Now is also the perfect time to break out addition and subtraction flash cards with your child. Please take the time to work with your child on mastering their basic facts to 20. The state expectation is that second grade students will recall basic facts to add and subtract within 20 with automaticity. In the second semester we will be working with greater value numbers, number lines, and using our addition and subtraction strategies on a regular basis for our problem solving. Having quick recall of these basic facts is essential for your child’s success. Please take the time to practice each night, as just 5-10 minutes of practice will pay big dividends this year and in the years ahead.
