Season's Greetings!
This week in Second Grade we are working on our "secrets' and practicing our songs for the Holiday Play. We are looking at the phonograms -ar, -arm, -ark in Spelling and phonics. Our reading strategies this week are compare and contrast and reading ahead for understanding. In Grammar we are practicing capitalization of proper names / nouns. We will have the tests on Friday- Spelling, Selection and Language cumulative review. Your children can practice all of the Language skills learned so far online at the Harcourt link on this website. Since the tests are a cumulative review, using the site for practice is an excellent way to improve skills previously learned.
In Math we are looking at different strategies for adding 2 digit numbers. Please continue to practice all of the addition and subtraction facts from 18. We will have the Unit 4 test next Tuesday, Dec. 18th.
A Look Ahead:
Tuesday, Dec. 18th - 1:00 Dismissal - No Lunch - "A Pre-Historic Christmas" Play - Students should arrive at 6:45.
