We're kicking off quarter three with a two-week problem solving unit before we jump into our multiplication unit. Students are spending the next two weeks analyzing word problems which is very tricky for second grade.
READING
We are going to be working on Nonfiction text features over the next 3 weeks! This is a great skill to practice at home when reading nonfiction texts, magazines, newspapers, articles, posters, and more. See if you can help your child spot photographs, captions, headings, subheadings, bolded words, diagrams, and more.
*We started a new chapter book read aloud! We're entering into the magical land of Narnia through the book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. We're on chapter 4 and students are totally captivated already. "Just one more chapter!!"
WRITING
We're starting a new writing unit: opinion and persuasive.
NEXT + THE FOLLOWING WEEK:
Phonics Focus: Open syllable (CV, monosyllabic) + compound words
Sight Words: seven, shall
Grammar Focus: Abbreviations
Comprehension Strategy: Nonfiction Text Features
IMPORTANT NOTES:
> January HW Bingo is due Jan. 31st!
> Report cards go home today (1/11), so please sign the envelope and return it with your child next week. You will keep all paperwork that is inside.
