Hello

Dear Parents,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Your child should have brought home their turkey art project for your Thanksgiving table!

We have been very busy in second grade this week mastering double-digit addition with and without regrouping. We will soon be learning triple-digit addition. Next week I will send home your child's addition flash cards along with a practice minutes sheet. Please spend 10 minutes every night reviewing addition facts up to 20. This will ensure success for your child's mastery of facts, and it will be easier when they need to apply their knowledge to triple-digit addition.

Please make sure your child reads every night for 20 minutes as well.

We will be singing at the Christmas concert on December 15th at 7:00 p.m. This will take place in the Basilica. Please bring your child to the second grade classroom at 6:30 p.m. They have been practicing almost everyday. Looking forward to seeing everyone that evening!

The second grade is also in charge of our next school mass which is Wednesday, December 8 at 9:00 a.m. It is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Today I will send home what your child is reading at mass, if they are reading. Please have your child practice this at home. We will also be practicing in class.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Miss Julie
