1. SECOND GRADE EXPECTATIONS WHAT CAN I DO TO ASSIST MY STUDENT THIS SUMMER TO GET READY FOR SECOND GRADE?

2. New Construction on 2nd Grade Rooms

3. READING • Have students read ALOUD to someone in the family at least an hour a week. • Limit “yes/no” questions and ask more “open-ended” questions about what they are reading. • Join a summer library reading program. • Maintain balance between reading fiction and non-fiction.

4. Math • Practice addition and subtraction flashcards. • Practice telling time to the hour and half-hour. • Identify each coin and their value. • Practice skip counting by 2’s, 5’s and 10’s. • Identify the name of shapes located around you.

5. LANGUAGE ARTS • Encourage your child to keep a summer journal to tell about their life experiences. • Students should write in complete sentences with a beginning capital letter and correct ending punctuation. • Students should practice using wide ruled notebook paper with the holes on the left. Second grade does not use handwriting paper.

6. INFORMATION PACKETS We will place a link to access materials this summer via our website. Thank you for coming this evening!
