Homework and Helpful Links
In second grade we ask students to read (on their own or with a caregiver) and play "Non-electronic" games with families to support our reading, speaking and listening skills. You can fill out the reading log below, for extra credit.
Throughout the year we'll also have Challenge Projects. I will send emails with the information for each activity throughout the year. You may also see differentiated work to support skills or missed activities in class. If that occurs, your child will receive the work in his/her red UPark folder.
If you wish to do more...you will find our Word Work Patterns for the week and other suggestions in our 2nd grade bi-monthly newsletters.
