Second Grade News

February 6-10

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

Reading:  Our new vocabulary words for this week are: 

          about                   different             father                  important           

          interesting           secretly               special                 attention           

          Mexico                  told               

           

Please put this list in a handy spot and have your child practice reading through it a couple of times each day.  This week our comprehension skill is theme.  We will be learning that the theme of a story is the big idea or the important message in the story.  We will also be comparing and contrasting informational stories about different birthday traditions around the world.

Spelling:  Your child’s list of new words is stapled to this letter.

Jump Rope For Heart:  We have this on Friday morning from 9:00-10:15.  Please make sure your child has tennis shoes and comfortable clothes for jumping.  Also, your child may want to bring a water bottle (plain water only).  Please make sure your child has his/her name on the bottle.

Valentine Exchange:  On February 14 we will have a Valentine exchange in our classroom.  I am asking that the boys and girls bring in a Valentine for every member of our class.  The Valentines may be homemade or purchased.   Here is a list of the children in our class:
