Reminders from your Second Grade Teachers
*iPads - Please remember to send your child's iPad each day to school fully charged.
*Headphones - Please check with your child that they have working headphones/earbuds at school. Learners have many times where they are watching a video or can listen to directions and/or books and apps that need audio. Thank you so much for your help with this!
*Weather - As our weather outside is colder, please remember that we will still be going outside for recess. District policy states that if the "feels like" temperature is above 32 degrees we will be going outside for some fresh air. Please make sure your child has dressed appropriately for recess weather.
*Snack - We have a short snack time each day. It is important that they have a healthy and nutritious snack each day to fuel their bodies. We also ask that the snack you send be completely free of peanuts/tree nuts. This will help provide a safe environment for all learners.

Math - DreamBox and Reflex Math
In math, we use two apps to supplement our learning! On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in class, we use Reflex Math for approximately 15 minutes to work on our math fact fluency. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we work on DreamBox for approximately 15-20 minutes in class. Our goal each week is to complete 5 DreamBox lessons. Your child is welcome to work towards their goal of 5 lessons a week on DreamBox at home. Additionally, if your child is absent, we'd love your help in having them complete that day's app for about 15-20 minutes at home.
