It's Conference Time!!

Parents, I am so excited to visit with you about your child's successes and growth in this first quarter of 2nd grade! We will be talking about grades and assessment data, but this will also be the perfect time to discuss any questions, concerns, or celebrations about your child's performance and social development in the classroom community and at home. Please take advantage of this opportunity to visit about your kiddo- our communication and team work are critical to helping your child reach his or her fullest potential as a learner! Coming to conferences is one way to help us achieve our Parkway vision, "A pathway to the future!" and our mission, "Empowering all students within a positive learning environment". Thank you for all you do for your children! :)

We're Going LOOPY for Fact Families!

This week we learned about addition and subtraction fact families in 2nd grade math. A fun way to practice manipulating numbers to understand the concept of fact families was to do a math investigation with Fruit Loops! Students were given about a half cup of fruit loops, directed to sort them by color, and then grouped them in color pairs. Students then built fact families using the numbers represented by their Fruit Loops. The best part? Our math project became a yummy snack when we were all done! :)
