Second Grade News
January 3-6
Here is a peek at what we will be working on this week.
Reading: Our new vocabulary words for this week are:
checkers sparks dumped complained
immediately wobbling across either
toward advertise tidy pretzels
through sometimes
Please put this list in a handy spot and have your child practice reading through it a couple of times each day.
This week we will practice summarizing the stories we read. This means that we will be telling about the most important parts of a story (character, setting, problem, events, ending) in a few short sentences. As you read at home with your child, please take a few minutes to help your child summarize the stories.
Spelling: This week, we have contractions for many of our spelling words. As you help your child review at home, please remind him/her to put the apostrophe in the correct spot.
Math: We will resume the Home Link (homework) part of our math today. I am asking that you continue to check over your child’s work and help your child make any necessary corrections. Also, please put your signature or initials on your child’s work so I know that your child has shown it to you.
Clothes For Recess: Now that cold weather is here, please make sure your child has appropriate clothing for playing outside at recess-snowpants, boots, jacket, hat, mittens or gloves. I would also recommend that your child keep an extra pair of socks and mittens in his/her backpack. This way if one pair gets wet, your child can change into a dry pair and stay comfortable.
Bookbags: Please make sure your child has returned his/her December bookbag and calendar so I can award the Pizza Hut slips and hand out the January calendar.
Library: We return to the library on Wednesday. Please make sure all books are returned so that more may be checked out.
Delayed Start: Next Monday school will begin at 10:00. Have a great week!
Mrs. Wimmler
