June Math Workshop

Time, Shapes, and Fractions as Equal Parts of Shapes

In this final unit, the children will expand upon their understanding of geometry. They will compose (make) and decompose (take apart/separate) shapes. They will also begin to develop an understanding of unit fractions (fractions with one in the numerator) as equal part of a whole. The students will also be relating fractional parts of a circle to the minutes on a clock.

How You Can Help At Home

Practice telling time using an analog clock. 

Practice telling time to the nearest 5 minutes.

Draw shapes with your child and have them practice dividing them into halves, thirds, and fourths. Focusing on the equal-sized pieces. 

June Word Study

Unit 17
This is our last unit for 2nd Grade. In this unit, the students will be learning the last syllable type which is the consonant -le syllable. This syllable type always comes at the end of a multisyllabic word such as bubble or bicycle. 

This syllable always has 3 letters: a consonant, the letter l, and the letter e. 

Trick Words
Week 1: laugh, favorite, sugar



Knowing all six syllable types will help your child to read and spell. We encourage your child to use all the spelling rules and skills over the summer.
