Second Grade News

February 20-24

Here is a peek at what we will be working on this week.

Reading:  Our new vocabulary words for this week are: 

            family                        finally                                    morning                    really

            paper                         wriggle                                  gulped                       wailed

            gnats

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 continue to work on plot as our comprehension skill.  We will learn that the plot of a story is what happens from beginning to end in a story.  As you read at home with your child please take a few minutes to discuss the important events that happen at the beginning, middle, and end of each story. 

Spelling:  Your child’s new list is attached to this letter.

Library:  We visit the library on Thursday.  Please make sure all books are returned.
