Good Morning Everyone!
Happy Thursday! I hope you enjoyed the beautiful sunny day yesterday!
Here are some activities you can work on for today.
Word Work - Sight Words - Practice the list you are working on. I know we have already done work on these lists, but we just get better at them the more we work on them! If you have done the A,B, & C lists, i'ts time to work on D. Make sure you can read each word right away. Spelling - If you can spell all the A word lists, move on to B. Practice spelling on the page in your book. Only work on one list at a time. Try the Word Work page in your book on Blends (sp, tr, sh, pl, st, ch). Look at the picture, say the word. What 2 sounds do you hear at the beginning? We have just started doing more work on blends. Give it a try and see how you do. At the bottom of the page, pick 2 of the words and write a sentence for each one. If you have crayons you can colour the pictures.
Reading - Choose one of your levelled books to read. Pick a storybook to share with someone. Use the strategies we have been working on to help with unknown words. Record the books you read on the log sheet. There were only 3 levelled books in the home learning packs, but you have your 4 reading books for homework too. Remember it never hurts to read a book more than one. It is good practice for our fluency.
Writing - Journal - Choose a topic from the Ideas page to write about, or a topic of your choice. If you got outside to play or explore yesterday, you could write about that. Try to write 4 good sentences, that begin and end properly and tell a whole idea. Add a detailed picture to go with your writing. Use the word sheets in your kit, to help with your writing. Stretch out those bigger words you don't know, and remember every word has to have vowels.
Squiggle Park - If you have access to a device, play for 15 minutes. Your code is in the front of your agenda.
Math - Warm Up - Jack Hartman videos, count and move or count and move on your own. Try counting by 2s and counting by 10s forwards and backwards. In your blue book try the page on Numbers and Operations - Comparing and Ordering Numbers to 20. We have done lots of work on this. See how you do! Choose a game from the math board in your purple folder. The materials you need to play the games are there. Today try the Dice Game - Who can make the greatest number? This will help with place value, which we have been working on.

Dream Box - If you have access to a device, go on and play for 15 minutes. Your code and password are on the front cover of your agenda. Remember to do the activities with the blue star first.
STEAM Time - If you didn't choose an activity to do from the choice board yet, have a look and pick one to do. Have fun with it!
Outside Time - It is calling for another sunny day, but a little cooler. Dress warm and head outside to explore, move and have fun!
Have a super day Grade 2! I hope to see you soon!
