Mrs. Patterson's 2nd grade class

I received some messages from parents saying they were having trouble signing into the math study guide.  I have reposted the instructions below.  Each study guide is was only available to take once.  I assigned three different ones this time so students would see different numbers in the problems and would not be able to memorize the answers.  I will reopen each study guide again at the end of the school day so that students can take it again tonight.

 Here are step by step instructions:

1. Click on the math study guide link given
2. Click sign in with google
3. Type in the 200 number I wrote in blue ink in the front of your child’s planner.  This is not the ZEARN password- this is a completely different website.  At the end of the number you need to add @dearbornschools.org
   1. For example, if my number is 20108900 then I need to type in 20108900@dearbornschools.org into the username.

Homework for tonight:

1. Complete the math study guides if you have not done so already this week.  The links are listed below.
2. 4 spelling activities from the Bingo sheet are due tomorrow.  To access the Bingo sheet you can click the link at the top of the blog post named spelling bingo.
3. Read for 15 minutes.

This Friday the students will have their mid-module assessment for math covering 2 and 3 dimensional shapes.  This covers the first half of our math unit.  We will learn the rest of the unit after Thanksgiving break.  Here is the edulastic mid-module study guide so that students can practice from home.

Homework for tonight:

1. Complete the math worksheet- due tomorrow. Your child is bringing home a tangrams pieces worksheet.  This should be colored, cut out, and used with the homework worksheet.  These tangrams should be kept at home for your child (they have another set at school) to use for the remainder of the module.  I recommend putting them in a ziploc baggie and putting them somewhere safe for your child to use to practice and complete his/her homework.
   1. Reminder we have a Math Test on FRIDAY. The study guides are on the blog under Monday’s post.
2. Complete a weekly spelling activity.
