Math

Place value is a huge component of second grade math.  Students must have a firm grasp of place value in order to understand numbers, as well as to add and subtract with regrouping.  The following websites will help strengthen your child's place value skills:

Congratulations to our first Team of the Week winner, Red Team!  Special congratulations to Hayden, captain, Guy Morgan, Emma, Takiah, and Nathaniel.

Please make your opposition to this cut know by contacting your local representatives. The following are websites to assist you:
