Math
Daily 5
In Topic C, (which begins with lesson 4), the teaching

sequence opens with students counting on the place
value chart by ones from 0 to 124, bundling larger
units as possible. Next, they represent various counts
in numerals, also known as standard form, designating
and analyzing benchmark numbers (e.g., multiples of
10) and numbers they bundled to count by a larger unit.
Next, students work with base ten numerals representing modeled numbers with place value cards, also
known as Hide Zero cards, that reveal or hide the value
of each place. They represent three-digit numbers as
number bonds and gain fluency in expressing numbers
in unit form (3 hundreds 4 tens 3 ones), in word form,
and on the place value chart. Students then count up
by hundreds, tens, and ones, leading them to represent
numbers in expanded form. The commutative property
or switch around rule allows them to change the order
of the units. They practice moving fluidly between word
form, unit form, standard form, and expanded form.
Students are held accountable for naming the unit they
are talking about, manipulating, or counting. Without this
precision, they run the risk of thinking of numbers as
simply the compilation of numerals 09, keeping their
number sense underdeveloped.

Were continuing to work on Daily 5 expectations

this week. These behaviors include reading the entire time. Talking to classmates, asking for a
drink, and getting a different book may seem
harmless to independent reading, yet they interrupt the stamina-building process. I often encourage students to take care of these needs at another time of the day.
Good Fit Books or books they can read, understand and are interested in, which they will read
during Daily 5. They will be spending most of their
time actually reading, which research supports as
the number one way to improve reading. I anticipate the motivation and enjoyment of reading will
skyrocket when this gift of choosing their own
books is accompanied by extended practice and
specific reading instruction for each individual
child.
Well begin Unit 2 in the new language arts program curriculum this week. The theme is Problems
That Characters Face. The expected pace for
each unit is 3 weeks, then the students work
booklet will be sent home. Youre more than welcome to discuss the content, and have your child
share his/her new learnings.
Second graders should be reading each day a

minimum of 20 minutes. Please encourage your
child to read books that are appropriate for
them, not too easy or not too hard.
