Grade 2 News April 25 - April 29

Hi Everyone!

I hope you had a fun weekend and got outside to enjoy the sunshine!

Phys. Ed

Our Phys. Ed days this week are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Library

Our library day is on Thursday. Make sure you bring your book back so you can sign out another one.

Homework/Reading

The homework for the week is listed in the orange homework books.
This week for our spelling words focus on words that begin with /th/ and /oo/ words. Go over them each night. We will be working on them at school too. We will have our test on Friday.
The word work activity involves using the spelling words. Circle the word missing from each sentence. Choose 2 of the underlined words and use them in a sentence. Add good details and begin and end your sentences the right way.
We have been working on reading comprehension and this week there is a story to do. Read the story 2 times. Read the question, then underline the answer in the story. Circle the right answer. Remember if you can’t remember the answer, go back, and read it again.
In Math we are working on the strategy – bridging through ten. When adding, see if you can make a ten first and then add on what is left. Ex: 9 + 7 = _____ Think: 9+1 =10, so 10 +6=16. We are also working on place value to 100.

Choose one book from the reading bag to read each night. Use your strategies to help with your reading and record the book on the log sheet.

Year Books

If you would still like to order a yearbook, the last day to order is Friday April 29^th. The cost is $20.00.

Water Bottles

Please send in a water bottle for your child to use at school. They can refill them during the day.

Have a super week Grade 2!
