Hello Second Grade Families,
Upcoming Events
Conferences: October 8-9 - Click this link to sign up for a time slot!
If the conference time slots I have listed do not work for you, please email me and we can set up a time to meet after school the following week.
Healthy snacks:
At open house, I sent home a note from the district about healthy snacks at school. On the back of the note were some ideas for healthy snacks from the different food groups (fruit, vegetable, protein, dairy, whole grain). Please help your child bring a healthy snack for our snack time each day. We cannot allow chips, cookies, cake (mini cakes too), cheetohs, donuts, candy, soda, items that would not be nutritious, into the classroom for snack.
Homework:
What are we learning?
Reading/ELA
HELLO, FAMILY! (same Module/info as last week, but we are on week 3)
Over the next three weeks, our class will be learning about what it means to be a good citizen at home, at school, and in the community. We will read about characters and real people who are good citizens, and we will learn how our actions can make a difference to others. Children will also write a personal narrative about something they’ve done to make the world a better place.
Big Idea Words. Reinforce these important topic words when you are reading or talking with your child: citizen, difference, kind.
Try to incorporate questions like these into everyday conversations:
· What can you do to show you are a good citizen?
· How can you make a difference in our neighborhood?
· What are some things we could do to be kind to others?
Let’s Read Together. Make a special time and place to read with your child for 10 minutes every day.
During this module about citizenship, try these activities during your reading time together:
· Find examples of kindness in the texts.
· Clap your hands when a character is giving rather than taking.
· Talk about a character who has a hard time finding ways to belong and describe how other characters could help.
Word Play. Play with words to help develop skills that are important for reading.
Week 1: Syllable Search
Take turns pointing out things at home that have closed syllables (consonant-vowel-consonant), such as bed, hat, and dog.
Week 2: Scavenger Hunt (we are on week 2 this week!)
Look for words that use the Floss Rule (double consonant at the end of word), such as glass, stuff, and bell. See who can find the most words!
Week 3: Check!
Look for words that include ch, sh, wh, or th around your home and in books. When your child sees a word with one of these, make a big check mark motion and say "Check!"
Math
Practice addition and subtraction with models and manipulatives
Relate addition to subtraction with math mountains and stories
We are finished with district Math Assessments! I will share results at conferences.
Science
Social Studies
