Second Grade News

November 14-18

Reading:  This week we will be reading and comparing fiction and non-fiction stories about snakes.  These are the new vocabulary words for this week:

          enemy                 medicine             slither                  scales

          slimy                    peels                    shed                     protect

          flicking                underneath

Please put this list in a handy spot, and have your child read through it a couple of times each day. 

Spelling:   The new word list is attached to this letter.

Math:  We have been working on subtraction.  This would be a great to get out the flashcards and help your child finish memorizing these facts.

Library:  We return to the library on Wednesday.  Please make sure all books are returned so that more may be checked out. 

 Veteran’s Day Visitor:  Last Friday we had the privilege of having Sarah Barber speak to our class.  Sarah is in the army and is currently serving in Kabul, Afghanistan.  She told us what she does in her position, and she told us about what life is like for the Afghan boys and girls. Our elementary is attempting to collect 3000 nonperishable and canned items for the troops in Sarah’s company.  We are collecting items until November 18.  Have a great week!
