Second Grade News!

Dear Parents,
Please help your child study the fact families. A fact family is a set of related facts. We have been practicing them in class and they are useful when studying the math facts. Here are a few examples:
8+5=13 5+8=13 13-8=5 13-5=8
9+6=15 6+9=15 15-6=9 15-9=6

Also, we will be having an apple tasting center on Thursday. If you are interested in donating the following types of apples: granny smith, red and yellow delicious, or any other kind, please let me know. Each child does not need an individual apple. We cut them into pieces so I would just need four or five of each kind. Thanks a bunch!!
Next week is Mercy Week honoring Sr. Maura and Sr. Camillus. There is Mass on Friday so please make sure your child is in full uniform.
