LITERATURE: We are more than halfway through Charlotte’s Web! We are taking a vocabulary quiz this week on the words we study in chapters 8-14. Your second grader is learning some challenging words this year. These words are used in our book and are integral to comprehension. Students will review vocab with a fun gestures game! We will read chapters 14 and 15 this week. Additional vocabulary include fibs, miraculous, incessant, reputation, modest, versatile.
POETRY: The second stanza of “Something Told the Wild Geese” is our focus. We will be reviewing the poem each day in class. Please help you child work on memorizing this beautiful poem!
GRAMMAR: Your child is learning to edit! We are using capitalization and punctuation rules to help us correct errors in sentences. These editing skills should transfer to your child’s writing. Please encourage your young scholar to properly capitalize and punctuate as they write. These skills will last a lifetime!
WRITING: This week we continue to narrate portions of Charlotte’s Web and examine an exemplary sentence from this wonderful piece of literature.
Math: This week we are reviewing topics that we have been learning the first month of school! We will be reviewing place value, how to solve word problems, and addition/subtraction facts. Encourage your child to also practice their addition and subtraction facts to boost their fluency!
