Challenge Spelling Words: Words that End with nd, ng, nk (F)
This week we will begin our math unit on addition and subtraction strategies. You can find cheap sets of addition and subtraction flashcards at the Dollar Store to help your child practice math facts at home. The goal is for students to leave 2nd grade with all of their addition and subtraction facts to 20 completely memorized (response rate of less than one second) so they are ready for multiplication in 3rd grade. We will be using a website called Xtra Math at school to practice our facts, but here are a couple of other virtual flashcard websites you can use to practice at home:
