Update October 15

Hello Families,

Here is what's happening this week in 2nd grade:

* In Language Arts we are continuing our look at sentence parts - The naming part and now the telling part. This is NOT an easy task (as many of us can remember from our days in elementary school) so we are going to ACT them out this week. You can support this learning at home by talking about the parts of the sentences that you speak. You can act them out as well!

* Our story is "Wilson Sat Alone". Our narrative element this week will be focused on the characters' feelings and actions. We are looking at the phonograms -at and -ate. Our Spelling words have that sound as well.

* In Math we are continuing addition and subtraction facts. Practicing with triangles will be emphasized and to continue fact power. The students will also complete frames and arrows problems ( following a rule such as +5, -2 etc.).

* In Science we are continuing our study of Sound and how it travels.

Gabriella is our student of the week! Seafood and art are a few of Gabby's favorites. YUM and fun!!!!

Have a great week!

Mrs. Scull
