Second Grade News

October 1-October 5

Reading:   Our new comprehension skill is drawing conclusions.  We will learn that sometimes when you read a story, you can use what you know about real life and what the author tells you to figure out more about the characters and what is happening.

These are our new vocabulary words:

          house                   never                   off                        these 

                 

          birdhouses          repair                   completing         guess

          took                     backpack             whispered           messy

          lawn                    rake                     pile                      single

          pleased                surprised             tomorrow  

Please put this letter in a handy spot and have your child practice reading these words a couple of times each day.

Spelling:  A list of this week’s words is attached to this letter.

Bookbags:  The Pizza Hut Reading Program begins today.  Your child has a bookbag with a book and a calendar for reading at home.  Please be sure to initial each day your child reads and have your child return the bookbag to school every day.

Reminders:  Our field trip to Klackle Orchards is Wednesday, October 10.  Please return your child’s permission slip and money as soon as possible.

Family Night Fiesta is Thursday, October 23.  Please RSVP by October 17.  Hope to see you there.

Have a great week!

Mrs. Wimmler
