Red Word Focus
This week will conclude our spelling tests for the year. On Friday, the students will have to write for mastery all of the 2nd grade Red Words. We will practice all of these words in the classroom throughout the week. Our test will be on Friday, May 18, 2018.
Green Word Focus
RF.2.3 Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words
Our Green Word pattern will be a review of the 4th quarter Green Word Patterns. The patterns are as follows: Vowel Teams: oa (boat), oe(toe), ea (sea), ee (see), ay (stay), and ai (paid); ea as in head and bread; igh as in bright and flight; Consonant-le endings—remember that when the consonant-le endings follow a short vowel sound, the first letter of the ending is usually doubled as in bat/tle; ble as in humble, fleas in sniffle, tle as in kettle, dle as in handle, gle as in giggle, kle as in rankle, ple as in simple, and zle as in puzzle. Please practice the Green Word patterns on the review dictation pages as your child brings them home. Weekly spelling words will come from the dictation pages. Students will be expected to apply all classroom information to ten or more 4th quarter Green Word patterns on their Friday spelling test.
Reading Focus
Our reading focus will continue to be the sport of “baseball” and the legendary baseball player, “Jackie Robinson.” We will conclude the reading of the realistic fiction book, “The Hero Two Doors Down.” CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.3 Describe how characters in a story respond to major events and challenges. Our writing focus will include the topic of baseball and the application of adjectives and adverbs within their writing activities. (CCSS.ELA.L.2.1.E); CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.2.3 Write narratives in which they recount a well-elaborated event or short sequence of events, include details to describe actions, thoughts, and feelings, use temporal words to signal event order, and provide a sense of closure.)
Please note that our spelling test for the week will be on Friday, May 18, 2018, and will include the entire 2nd Grade Red word list and all 4th Quarter Green Word Patterns.
Thank you,
Mrs. Arp
