I am so proud of our second graders and the wonderful job they did leading chapel! If you were not able to attend the service, you may view the message from my blog, mrsobrienclassconnect.blogspot.com or on youtube (Search for Solomon second grade Ten Commandments chapel). To be able to understand the Ten Commandments, explain them in their own words and act them out is nothing short of remarkable. Well done! We also had a lot of fun last week playing games and eating snacks in honor of hundreds day. It was a fun filled week! You should find a note in your child’s folder today in regards to Valentine’s Day. We will celebrate with the first graders by passing out valentines and enjoying an ice cream sundae bar. If your child would like to bring in a decorated valentine box, they may do so. Otherwise, we will provide baggies for all of their “loot”. This week is a pretty “typical” week as we learn and grow together.
Reading/Creative Writing
This week we will read Paul Goes to the Ball and The Rooster Who Went to His Uncle’s Wedding. We will continue to work on summarizing and connecting the stories to past experiences. We will also review the concept of “theme” or the moral to the story. On Friday, we will take our third reading benchmark test. These will continue to be more challenging as there is very little the teacher is allowed to read to the class. At this point in the school year, it is very important for second graders to become independent readers as it is expected in third grade.
Phonics/Language
Our sound of the week is the “a, au, al” sound. We are also reviewing adjectives and learning about comparative adjectives.
Math
This week we will complete a number of math explorations and data collections. The terms “range” and “median” will be introduced. Overall, math addition timed tests are going well. Keep practicing those flashcards to improve fluency.
