SECOND GRADE EXPECTATIONS WHAT CAN I DO TO ASSIST MY STUDENT THIS SUMMER TO GET READY FOR SECOND GRADE?

New Construction on 2 nd Grade Rooms

READING Have students read ALOUD to someone in the family at least an hour a week. Limit “yes/no” questions and ask more “open-ended” questions about what they are reading. Join a summer library reading program. Maintain balance between reading fiction and non-fiction.

Math Practice addition and subtraction flashcards. Practice telling time to the hour and half- hour. Identify each coin and their value. Practice skip counting by 2’s, 5’s and 10’s. Identify the name of shapes located around you.

LANGUAGE ARTS Encourage your child to keep a summer journal to tell about their life experiences. Students should write in complete sentences with a beginning capital letter and correct ending punctuation. Students should practice using wide ruled notebook paper with the holes on the left. Second grade does not use handwriting paper.
