Word Work: Our class will be learning about the /ou/ syllable pattern this week. Our syllable pattern makes the sound as in count, town, and countdown.    Students should read their word lists, discuss the meaning of the words, and practice spelling words with similar syllable patterns.  Spelling City is ready for students to access the practice list for the week. 


Math Fact Mastery: In 2nd grade we divide out our math facts into chunks that follow the order of addition facts to 10, subtraction facts to 10, addition facts 10-20, and subtraction facts 10-20.   At this time of year, your child should be at or above working on fluently adding facts 10-20.   Students have been practicing the facts in class individually and through games.  If he/she is not at this point, please make sure to practice facts nightly.   


SEL: Please take a few moments to read Ms. VonBehrenś SEL News: Self Management K-2


Nightly Reading: Students' nightly reading routine should be spent reading at least 20 minutes. Ideally, it would be beneficial for students to read to an adult for half of the time.  Please remember students may access RAZ through the symbaloo. Thank you for your support.


NWEA:  Our window for taking the reading and math NWEA is from 
January 8th - January 26th. Students cannot prepare for this test ahead of time.  Please continue to have your child get plenty of rest each night and eat a healthy breakfast each day. 


Science and Culture Night:  Science & Culture Night will be January 31st from 6-8pm. Students (must be accompanied by an adult) get to experience three 25 minute presentations, which range from hands-on art lessons to learning about animals to experiencing power first-hand! We also hope to fill the hallways with tables displaying different cultures of our very own Lincoln Families. We would love to display as many family cultures during the evening as possible and we are also looking for a few more presenters for our 25 min. mini sessions. If you're interested in hosting a cultural table, a Science presentation, or would just like to find out more please contact Catherine Kirshenbaum at catherinebkirshenbaum@gmail.com.
