Scholastic Book Orders

Shop Online: scholastic.com/readingclub
One-Time Class Activation Code: DXDDG

Encouraging reading is one of the most important things we can do to help your child succeed. It can be tough finding the right books to keep them interested, which is why I am so excited that our class will be participating in Scholastic Reading Club this school year.

I am sending home several reading club fliers today. Orders are due MONDAY November 3. You child can also order from dozens of other fliers by logging in online. You can also order by returning one of the paper order forms and check written out to Scholastic. We will place an order in November and early in December too so if you want to order books for holiday gifts you have two chances. There are science books, chapter books, picture books, $1 deals and more!  Scroll down for a list of my favorites!
With Scholastic Reading Club: 
- Every book you buy earns FREE Books for our classroom library 
- You can choose from handpicked, grade- and reading-level-specific books for your child
- You'll find the best values on a variety of formats

Each month, your child will bring home Reading Club flyers. Together you can choose from books hand-selected by teachers and experts, and then order online or send your order form and payment to me. 

I'd also love some help growing our classroom Reading Club. If you'd like to help out, please let me know! I'm excited to get our class reading!

Charlotte's Web: (only $1)  and Geronimo Stilton, The Cheese Pyramid are both books that appeal to second graders. 

    

Does your child Love the Who Would WIn Series? This may be a good gift! Or if they like biographies, try the National Geographic Sacagawea version.

   

How about Click, Clack Ho to go along with our reading series which has multiple stories by the same author or the always beautiful Jan Brett books - scholastic has many of them but I noticed The Animals' Santa.

How to Complete Greg Tang's DigiCross and NumTanga Puzzles

Math homework will often be a variety of puzzles from Greg Tang Math which incorporate fact practice and problem solving along with a variety of other concepts in a fun way. (some of these are games on his website, www.GregTangMath.com )  We do these in class several times a week and I always provide instruction, but in case students forget what to do or you would like some info, I made a video on how to solve each puzzle.  Here is the video for DigiCross and NumTanga. Enjoy!

What is Xtra Math?

Recently your child brought home an flyer for Xtra math. When you get a chance, log on with your child to Xtra math using the information on the flyer. Xtra math is a fun math fact website where your child can practice math facts using technology! No more paper flash cards like when I was in school. Practicing math facts is not the be all end all of classroom mathematics (see the Common Core State Standards) but familiarity with facts is very useful. All second grade classes have a goal this year of helping students master math facts this year.

In school we will be doing Xtra math as a class about twice or three times a month (we will also be doing other activities in class to increase math fact fluency) but I would recommend you have your child go online to Xtramath.org two or more times a week. Each time your child logs in, the t...

How to Practice Math in the Summer

Research has shown math is the area most likely in which students are most likely to regress in over the summer. How can you prevent this from happening? I have a whole bunch of suggestions that you can implement, at least a few times a week this summer and none are that hard to do.  Things your child can do: Work on pages that are skipped or incomplete in their math books  Continue math fact practice with XtraMath.com, flash cards, during commerical breaks,  or verbal practice while driving in the car. Third grade teachers look for students to have mastered addition facts up to 10 + 10 and subtraction facts within 20 by the fall. Therefore, kids should practice addition and subtraction!  Look for fun apps that help kids practice math. Some examples are: Sushi Monster Dreambox (a few kids may already have accounts - I would have sent home a letter in the winter if so) Splash Math Kids Math Marble Math Junior Peter Pig's Money Math Counter  Go...
