This Week
Join us for our wax museum
this Friday April 27 in the second grade classroom at 9:00 am. We look forward to seeing you then!
Reading/Phonics/Language
This week we will review key
concepts before taking our unit 5 skills test.
These include contractions, syllables, main idea and pronouns.
Reading comprehension
questions are increasingly difficult on the skills tests. It is expected that by this point in second
grade your child is no longer a beginning reader. Third graders are no longer learning to read,
but rather reading to learn. Any extra
reading comprehension help you can give to your child will greatly benefit them
in preparation for third grade. It is
amazing what kind of resources you can find to practice on the Internet. I get a lot of ideas and resources from
superteacherworksheets.com and apples4theteacher.com.
Creative Writing:
This week we will put the
finishing touches on our oral presentations for the wax museum. Please help your child to prepare a simple
costume for Friday. I do not expect
anyone to spend lots of money on a new outfit, simply get creative with what
you have. It is amazing what can be done
with paper plates and brown paper grocery bags!
Math
We are continuing to take
subtraction timed tests this week. We
will continue to work on chapter 10 which finishes by showing the relationship
between money and place value. Expect a
math test early to mid- next week.
