Classroom Rules Homework_Suggestions School Supply List Cool Sites for Kids Kenwood_Home_page Discussion Recent Discussion Create New Topic Membership Login     The importance you place on learning is reflected in your child.  Your participation and help are important to your child's learning.  Second graders have little worksheet homework, but there are many ways you can help your child.   Study weekly spelling words.   Read with your child daily (15 to 20 minutes).   Look over papers brought home and discuss them.   Study the addition and subtraction math facts to 18.   Look daily at the planner and initial your child's planner.     Planners will be used each day to tell our parents the good news about what we will have done each day in school or future activities. Reading Strategies   Look at the beginning sound.   Does it make sense?   Look at the pictures.   Does it sound right?   Does is look right?   GUESS - Were you right?   Chunk words (go - ing).   Try it again.   Go back and read it and skip over the word. Hints for improving Math skills   Practice the math facts everyday. (addition and subtraction)   Pick two new facts to really work on and memorize each day.   Look over your child's math papers.  Go over with them any unfinished or incorrect answers.   Look for situations at home to review math skills.   Play games that require the use of math skills.   Check out the Cool sites for kids.   Purchase a math workbook from Wal-mart, K-mart, or Creative Teacher.   Emphasize the importance of working hard at school.   Praise your child for doing well.   Be sure your child is rested and well fed so they are ready to learn.
