2nd Grade Overview

September 8th - 11th

MATH​: We will be starting in Unit 1 of Bridges. Our mathematical focus rests primarily on the development of number sense, operations, and fact fluency to 20, in this unit. 

READING​: We will continue our F&F unit on Sequence of Events. Look for the Sequence of Events 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.

**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 #3 of our Spelling words. The list will be in their agenda, as well as a list that is in their homework binder. 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. Our Spelling test will be on Friday, September 11. 

List: space, cloud, bright, flew, wage, shook, snow, soup, their, call, sleep, five

SCIENCE: We will continue our unit on Dinosaurs and Creation.

LANGUAGE/WRITING​: Students will be learning about the subject and predicate of a sentence. They will work with finding the “who” and the “action” of each sentence.

****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!
