iPads/Headphones
Thank you for helping us get iPads to school this week! We had a successful first few uses of our school iPads for learning this week. We worked to update our CISD passwords for each of your children's iPads on Friday. The passcode to open the iPad for ALL second graders is 2122. Please make sure that your child is not changing this passcode to get in. If you have not done so already, please send a pair of headphones for your child as soon as possible. We will be using headphones in class on a regular basis; therefore it is very important that all students have a pair of over-the-ear headphones or earbuds to keep at school.
Curriculum Night
Second grade will have curriculum night on Thursday, September 2nd at 5:00 pm. This is a virtual event that will be hosted on Zoom. The second grade teachers will send out the zoom link Wednesday afternoon. If you have not received communication with the zoom link by 10am on Thursday morning reach out to your homeroom teacher. If you are unable to attend or have more than one child to attend at the same time, the zoom will be recorded and shared with our Friday communication on September 3rd.
Picture Day
All face-to-face learners will participate in picture day on Wednesday, September 1st. If you would like to order pictures, please click here and use the ID: EVTQN689C.
Snacks
2nd grade will have a short snack time each day, while we work, to keep our brains and bodies fueled for learning. In order to ensure a safe classroom environment for everyone, we ask that you please DO NOT send any snacks that contain peanuts/tree nuts. Please send a small, healthy snack (ex: fruit, cereal, crackers, goldfish, applesauce pouch, etc.) each day that does not require a fork or spoon to eat. Additionally, please send a water bottle with a sport (no spill) top daily.

September 2nd - Virtual Curriculum Night @ 5pm
What we are learning?
Math - In math, we will use concrete and pictorial models to compose and decompose numbers up to 100 in more than one way. Learners will work to recall basic facts to add and subtract within 20 with automaticity.
Reading- In reading, learners will focus on recognizing "Snap Words" while reading and scooping up these words so that we can read in longer phrases. In Phonics we will explore r-controlled vowels.
Writing/Grammar- In writing, we will be writing a personal narrative - studying mentor texts for inspiration and ideas. In grammar, we will identify and use adjectives to make our writing stronger.
Social Studies- In social studies learners will continue with their focus on being a good citizens. We will also look at American symbols such as the Statue of Liberty and the bald eagle.
Science - In science, learners can identify changes in physical properties.
