Homework: Read and study words
Literacy:
We are using our spell-a-thon words for word work this week.
Heart Words
The following are the heart words we have covered so far this school year. Students should be able to read these words.
Spell-A-Thon
Math:
This week we will continue to work on subtraction with two-digit numbers by regrouping/borrowing a number. This is the most difficult concept in grade 2 math and can be challenging for students.
Ex:
It is important that students have a good grasp of their basic addition / subtraction facts to 20 to have success with this concept. Students can use a number line in class to help but will need to use other strategies for assessment purposes.
