LiveGrades Parent & Student Sign-In

What's Happening!

We are learning geometry skills and identifying plane and solid figures.  We have learned how to count the number of flat surfaces, edges and vertices to given figures.               

At Home

Count money, make change, tell time and observe billboards and signs to identify words that we have learned and how to spell and use them.

Read books for extra practice and FUN.  Remember: Trips to the public library are free!  A book can go anywhere that you can.

Getting Ready for Third Grade

As we end the school year, there are several skills that would be helpful to practice to get our students ready for Third Grade. 

• Read books for the Summer Reading Challenge.  (This will help build more fluent readers.)

• Practice cursive handwriting by following the Zaner Bloser workbook sent home at the end of school.

• Keep math skills sharp by practicing basic math facts and addition and subtraction with and without regrouping.

• Practice skip counting. (This will make the learning of multiplication facts less dificult.)

Third Grade is a critical year for students.  The focus takes a drastic change from learning to read to reading to learn.  With basic skills mastered, students can spend more time on the tasks at hand instead of learning or relearning the basics.
