2A Holiday Home Learning

If there is ONE thing you do over vacation, PLEASE READ! :)

We have so much reading momentum these days in 2A, students cannot take a 34 day break from books!  I have invited students to participate in a Summer Reading Challenge!  The details are in their homework summary that was sent home on Monday.  RAZ-Kids books are updated as well to reflect the students' growth this semester.  Students may also read from Elefante Letrado (Portuguese) or from regular books that they have at home.  Please continue to promote and encourage READING over the break! :)

Families may also choose to join the "LS Reads" initiative by reading Flora & Ulysses together, which is available for free on Tumblebooks.com (Username: Graded, password: books) We've already enjoyed reading Chapter 1 in class together

The author of this book is Kate DiCamillo who is the same author of the Mercy Watson series that students know well.  Some students may be able to read this book independently, but for others, it may be a better book to read with an adult or older sibling.

For some extra practice in multiple areas, try out the Vacation BINGO Activity. This Bingo resource is also on the homework summary sent home this week (page 2).  Notice there is an option to send a postcard to our class from your vacation destination!  Are you up for this writing challenge?  Let's see how many postcards we can receive!  I plan to send from my travels also.  Also, please consider helping your child to keep a simple journal of some of their most memorable experiences over the break.  Students can share them when they return!

For some extra practice in math, try logging into Mathletics (login details in yellow folder).  They may work in units 1-5.  

Those units cover the skills that we have investigated together.  Also, students can collect objects to add to our 3D Museum (cones, pyramids, rectangular prisms, etc.)

If you are traveling and notice any maps that students can bring back to share with the class, this will enhance our Community and Geography social studies unit when we return in January.

Thank you for all of your support.

Please enjoy a relaxing vacation and time with family and friends!

Best wishes,
Ms. Jessie
