Second Grade News: May 22-26, 2017
Reading: This
week our weekly theme is “Our Heroes” and the essential question is “What do
heroes do?” We are studying community heroes such as police and firefighters,
and are also learning about heroes in history. Some examples of these heroes in
history are: Martin Luther King Jr., Abraham Lincoln, Rosa Parks, Cesar Chavez,
etc.
Spelling: We are finished with Spelling tests for the
year but are still working on the phonics skills and words in class. You may
also work on them at home even though they will not be tested.
High Frequency Words (sight words): By
the end of the unit, your child should be able to read these words quickly
and easily. Please post this letter in a handy spot (on the fridge,
etc.) and have your child practice reading through these words a couple of
times each day.

Today was our last day of Library. If your child still
has library books at home, please send them in tomorrow.
This Friday is Fun to be Fit. You are invited to walk
(or run) the track with us at 1:30. Please make sure your child is dressed
appropriately and has shoes that are good for running. Although they may bring
a water bottle (plain water only), we will keep them in the classroom for
afterwards since the event is only a half hour long.
