Dear Second Grade Parents and Scholars,
We are facing difficult and unusual times right now with some schools closing for aweek. We recognize that a break in school may be a challenge for you and yourfamily. Even though your school is closed, this time can be used to continue learning.Reading, writing and doing listening and speaking activities with your parents, inEnglish or the language you speak at home, will help you to continue to develop yourskills. Feel free to answer the questions, do the activities, and read books in English,your home language, or both. Enlist the help of siblings, grandparents, or other familymembers and friends to make your time learning at home fun.On the following pages, you will find a day-to-day guide to help your child stayengaged. It includes a suggested schedule, activities, and educational TV shows andwebsites. Please use the guide and fill in the chart each day outlining your dailylearning.
