Educating Winners Everyday
Sound Check:
We will be learning about words that sound the same, but mean different things. For example, “see” and “sea”
Sight Words and Family Words:
We will be preparing for our last language
assessment of the year. Please review the sight words and family words
that we have learned this year. I have included a list of the words in each child’s
binder.
Homework Help:
This will be our last week for homework. I will be sending home a summer activities calendar for
each student during the last week of school. Please be sure your child reads over the summer as much
as possible.
Getting 2nd Grade Ready:
Math Common Core Standard: 2.NBT.1: Understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones; e.g., 706 equals 7 hundreds, 0 tens, and 6 ones.
2.NBT.2 Count within 1000; skip-count by 5s, 10s, and 100s.
