Second Grade News

September 23-27

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

Reading:   These are our new reading vocabulary words for this week.  They are the words that we will be learning to read.  A good way to help your child practice is to put this letter in a handy spot where you will see it as a reminder, and then have your child practice reading through the words a couple of times each day.

         clean                 many                use                     work

         world                sign                    ready                phone

         farm                  pound               write                  computer

         fix                       tools                  everything       easier                                         

Our reading comprehension skill is author’s purpose.  As we read we will discuss why the author wrote the selection.  We will learn that sometimes authors write books to teach us facts about real things, sometimes they want to tell us a good story, and sometimes they want to convince us that something is important.  As you read at home with your child please take a few minutes to discuss why the author wrote the book you are enjoying. 

                 

Spelling:   Your child’s list of spelling words is attached to this letter.

Library:   We return to the library on Monday.  Please make sure your child has returned all of his/her books so that more may be checked out.

Field Trip:  We will have our field trip to Klackle Orchards on Thursday, September 26.  Please make sure your child’s permission slip and money are turned by Monday, September 23.

Have a great weekend!
