Homework
Second grade is an important year! Besides learning so many new things, your child will become a more independent and responsible student. Each student will be responsible for recording his/her own homework in their agenda each day.
Math
There will be math homework assigned Monday through Thursday. This year students will be using IXL and Reflex. IXL is a web-based program that targets Math with problems based on the Common Core standards. If a student does not complete his/her IXL assignment(s) by Friday, he/she will be asked to complete it over the weekend by Monday. Most students will be able to complete these during class time. Reflex is an online math fluency website which helps students master their addition and subtraction facts, and eventually begin to work work on multiplication and division. Reflex will be used in class at least 3 times per week. Students may work on it at home as well.
Reading
Please read with your child each night for at least 20 minutes. Research shows that the more a child reads the higher their level of comprehension. Make reading fun for you and your child! If you need some suggestions on ways to make reading fun please feel free to reach out to me!
Optional Homework
Your child will have access to many web-based programs and applications such as Reflex, Front Row, Sumdog, and Compass Learning. He/she can use these to practice math and/or reading at any time throughout the year.
