LANGUAGE ARTS: This week we read and discussed Wilma Rudolph: Against All Odds and Great Leaders. Wilma Rudolph: Against All Odds is a biography while Great Leaders is an opinion article. We worked on skills such as decoding words with long /i/ (i, ie, igh, y, i_e) as in iron, pie, right, fly, and bike, capitalizing the first letter in the names of the days of the week, months of the year, and holidays, decoding words with the prefix "dis," identifying statements of fact and opinion, using story vocabulary in context, and learning ten new high-frequency words.
MATH: We took the chapter 7 test over fluently subtracting with in 100 and started chapter 7 over solving more problems involving addition and subtraction. So far students have modeled problems using equations with unknowns in any position and used drawings and equations to make sense of the words in problems.
SECOND GRADE MASS: The second grade class is in charge of the school Mass next Wednesday, December 20. Please look for a note in today's take home folder to see what special part your child will have in our Mass. Mass begins at 9:15 in the school gym. We hope to see you there if you are able to come!
BRING SACK LUNCH TO SCHOOL: Next Friday, December 22, students will need to bring a sack lunch to school. (Milk will be provided.) Students will be eating lunch with the Advent Angels that day. After lunch, students will sing Christmas carols with their Advent Angels as well.
SPELLING: We will be having a "Review Week" in spelling next week. All 16 spelling words will be words students have had in previous weeks.
TAKE HOME FOLDERS/BLOG: Take home folders will not be sent home next Thursday, December 21 due to the upcoming Christmas vacation, and there will not be a second grade newsletter posted on my blog. Any important notes from the office will be sent home in your child's backpack.
