Assignments: 

Family and Individual Salem History Projects:                                                                Choose from the list of projects to total 100 or more points. The Salem Project Learning Contract is due on Friday, May 25.  Begin working on them.  The projects are due on Wednesday, June 6.

Reading:                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Keep reading 30 minutes each day.  Don’t forget to help your child remember to bring the RAH (Read at Home) folder back to school each day.  If you don’t have time to read one evening, please still sign the card with 0 minutes written in.  That’s ok once in awhile!

Math/Writing:

Write a brief paragraph explaining what you did to improve your math skills this week. Use a topic sentence, detail sentences and a conclusion.

*Use Sumdog website.  If you need your username and password, please ask me for it.

* Go to:  www.xtramath.org. Follow the directions on your XtraMath letter (in your packet last week). Practice 10-15 minutes each day!  Only eleven students have participated in this. The feedback I’ve had from parents has been very positive!  It’s such a great way to practice the math facts quickly!

*Practice the math vocabulary from the Blog site. 

* Practice flashcards for addition, subtraction, or multiplication (Second graders do multiplication only after answers to addition and subtraction are quickly stated.)
