Hello! Brrr! We are trying to stay warm during this chilly week :)
This Week in:
Religion:
We will begin our chapters on the Mass which will lead up to First Communion preparation in March.
Also, during guidance class, Mrs. Harrison has begun the family life series with the second graders.
ELA:
Last week we finished Unit 3, so this week we are reviewing and getting ready for Unit 4, which we will begin next Monday. The homework this week is a vocab booklet. Next week we will read "A Froggy Fable" which goes along with the vocab words in the booklet. Students do not need the story to complete the vocab. They should use a dictionary or an online resource for the definitions.
Conventions: Helping verbs am, is, are, was, were
Comprehension: Introduction to fables! We are learning about theme/message/moral/lesson of a story. This week is just an intro- we are doing the anchor chart page in our interactive notebooks and reading a couple different fables to identify the message.
Small Groups: We have started prepping for the IOWA test. Mrs. Coutu and I are using critical thinking packets in our small groups. These packets address verb tenses and the helping verbs. It would be a good idea to look over these when they come home and review with your child.
Centers: Computers- PBS Detective game (inferencing and drawing conclusions); Ipads- "Write About" app, students must write a short story using at least 5 sight words; Inference task cards; Finish book sequence project with partners.
Our book sequence projects turned out great!
