2nd Grade Summer Assignments

2021 – 2022

Dear 2nd Grade Families,

The Second Grade Teachers are SO excited to meet you! We hope that you enjoy your

break. Enclosed in this packet you will find many different engaging and fun activities to

help your child continue to grow. Over the summer vacation, we strongly encourage you

to set aside some time for your child to work on these skills to ensure continued

progress in second grade. We strongly suggest having a journal or notebook where your

child can complete each assignment. Students can then hand in their journals when we

return to school.

Activities:

Summer Bingo: Each day choose a bingo assignment on the board. Once you complete

the assignment you can cross it out!

Summer Reading: Read the story, Juneteenth Jamboree by Carole Boston Weatherford.

After reading the story, students must complete Activity 1, Activity 2 and Activity 3.

Sight Word Review: It is important that your child practices reading sight words

each and every day to be able to read fluently. You may create flash cards to help assist with daily review.

All of these activities must be submitted to their teacher on the first day of

school – September 7, 2021. These activities will be used as their first grade in

Quarter 1.

Have a Great Summer and Happy Learning!

Sincerely,

The Second Grade Team
