Reading: We will be starting a new activity this week. All of the 2nd grade students will
participate in an “intervention block”.
This will be a 30-minute word work activity time. What makes this different is that your child
may be working in a different 2nd grade classroom during this
time. The children were divided into
groups based on a spelling inventory.
The children will work on word sorts and reading.
Our
phonics this month will be r-controlled vowels (er, ir, ur), vowel teams for
long o and plurals.
Comprehension
skills include compare and contrast, author’s purpose and sequencing.
Math: Our new math unit covers the following
skills: place value, adding coins,
telling time and frames and arrows having 2 rules. It is a short unit but full of good review
and challenging activities. Please
remind your child to do his/her home link each evening. This will give your family an idea of what
was covered during our lesson that day.
Your child will also receive a “DOJO” point for completed home-links!
