Second Grade News
December 9-13
Here is a peek at what we
will be working on:
Reading: These are our new vocabulary words. Please put this list in a handy spot and have
your child practice reading through the words a couple of times each day.

Our comprehension skill is
summarizing. When we summarize, we tell
about the most important parts of a story in just a few short sentences. We tell about the character, setting,
problem, important events, and the solution to the problem or the ending. As you read with your child please take a few
minutes to help your child summarize the story.
Spelling: Your child’s new list is stapled to this
letter.
Elementary Christmas Musical: This will be
on Monday, December 16 at 7:00 in the high school gym. We would like the boys and girls to line up
in the multi-use room at 6:45. Please
have your child wear his/her dress clothes (no jeans).
Classroom Party: Our party will be in the
afternoon on Thursday, December 19. For
our Christmas gift exchange I would like each child to bring in 26 small items
to pass out to the members of our class.
You could go to a dollar store, Wal-Mart, etc. to find one item that you
can get in multiples. For example: rubber insects, snakes, frogs, bouncy balls,
stickers, candy, gum, pencils, pens, erasers, and lots of other ideas. Just use your imagination and have fun with
it, but please keep this very inexpensive (no more than a couple of dollars).
Trail Mix: I would also like the boys and girls to bring
in an item for a class trail mix that we will eat at our party. Please send in one cup of a munchy item for
your child to put in our mix. Ideas of
things to send would be popcorn, pretzels, goldfish crackers, raisins, etc. (no peanuts or peanut butter).
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Wimmler
