Second Grade News

September 16-20

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.

Our reading comprehension skill is character.  We will learn that readers can learn what the story characters are like by looking the things the characters do, think, and say.  As you read at home with your child, please take a few minutes to discuss the characters in the stories. 
          
Spelling:   Your child’s list of spelling words is attached to this letter.

Mileage Club:  This will start on Monday, and Mrs. Kelley could use a few more helpers.  Please contact her at ckelley@mcbain.org if you would be able to help.

Tennis Shoes:  We have P. E. on Thursday and Friday.  Please make sure your child has tennis shoes on these days.

Delayed Start:  We will have a delayed start on Monday, September 16.  School will begin at 10:00.

Field Trip:  We will have our field trip to Klackle Orchards on Thursday, September 26. 

Have a great weekend!
