School-Wide News
Second Grade Overview
October 5-7
MATH: We will be doing some Fall Units to review and start on new concepts being taught in Unit 2. Unit 2 covers Place Value and Measurement.
READING: We will continue in our F&F unit on Retelling. Look for the Retelling Skills and Vocabulary pages in your child’s homework folder. These pages will stay in their homework folders for easy access at home. Begin to have your child study the skills (pattern statement and process questions) and vocabulary words a few times each week. Use the process questions as part of your book discussions at home.
*There will be study guides in your child’s binder. They need to know the pattern statement, three process questions, and their (10) vocabulary words/definitions.
**Please have your child read for ten minutes each night. Include time for your child to read aloud to you.
SPELLING/PHONICS: We will be working on List # 7 of our Spelling words.
List: bridge, fridge, lodge, cage, eight, weight, freight, sleigh, always, made, gave, us
We will combine the two weeks that Fall Break falls over to review this list. Our Spelling test will be on Friday, October 16.
The test will also include two dictated sentences that they will need to write, using correct capitalization and punctuation. When working with your child, remind them that there are NO capital letters needed in this week’s list.
SOCIAL STUDIES: We will continue our unit on the study of Egypt.
LANGUAGE/WRITING: Students will be learning about the types of sentences; interrogative, exclamatory, and declarative.
A few reminders:
-The rooms can be cold, so your child may need a sweater/sweatshirt (follow the uniform guidelines) to wear in the classroom.
-Students may also need a water bottle that they can use in the classroom, but also outside for recess.
-Please make sure to label your child’s water bottle and sweaters/sweatshirts.
THANK YOU for reading the overview! Have a great week!
