Happy New Year and Welcome Back!!

I hope you all had a restful but fun and extremely cold break 🙂  Don’t forget to have your child return their reading logs this week. We are also collecting mittens, gloves, hats, scarves for the Mitten Tree donations which will go to the Wayne County Homeless Shelter families. Donations are greatly appreciated.

We’ll get back into our routine with lots of new learning and some carry over from December.

Spelling words this week focus on -r sounds: part, park, sort, short, horse. Dolch words: start, or, work, for, before

Our writing this week will be finishing up our imaginative narrative that was started before break. We’ll be writing and illustrating a final copy. From what I’ve heard so far of their stories, they like writing this type of genre 🙂

Our reading strategy will continue to focus on the point of view of an event of different characters in a fiction story.

We’re starting a new math unit–geometry. The students in the past have always enjoyed this unit because it’s all about shapes.

Social Studies begins a new unit also about living together in a community. Diversity is the lesson for this week.

Landforms continues to be the science topic. What they are, what they’re called and how they are formed and change to create the Earth.

NWEA testing begins for 2nd grade next week Tuesday morning.

Let’s hope for sun and warmth this week 🙂
