Dear 2nd Grade Parents,

This week, our students will participate in the “Caine’s Cardboard Arcade Challenge”. I shared with the class the amazing story about a young boy in Los Angeles who’s creativity in cardboard engineering inspired a local filmmaker. If you are not familiar with this story, please take a moment to watch the videos “Caine’s Arcade” and “Caine’s Arcade Chapter 2 – From a Movie to a Movement“. Students will work on their arcade this week and share their final project with classmates on Friday. In math, Chapter 20 will introduce students to multiplication concepts.

Don’t forget to practice your math facts using Mathzor.com each day. Ten minutes a day (or just 3 times a week) will greatly assist your child in mastering their basic math facts.
