Dear Parents,
Spelling:
Red Words
RF.2.3 Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words
“Red Words” are non-phonetic words that do not follow the rules and cannot be sounded out.
Spelling this week will only be for students who did not receive a 100% on their final summative test last Friday. There will be no more spelling tests for the rest of the year. Please continue to practice all 2nd and/or 3rd grade Red Words over the summer months.
Reading
Describe how characters in a story respond to major events and challenges.
Explain how specific images (e.g., a diagram showing how a machine works) contribute to and clarify a text.
Describe how reasons support specific points the author makes in a text.
This week we will read the selection, “Freckle Juice.” We will look at how the characters change from the beginning of the text to the end of the text, and we will discuss the main character’s characteristics and the lesson(s) learned throughout the book.
Writing
With guidance and support from adults, use a variety of digital tools to produce and publish writing, including in collaboration with peers.
Describe how words and phrases (e.g., regular beats, alliteration, rhymes, repeated lines) supply rhythm and meaning in a story, poem, or song.
Create audio recordings of stories or poems; add drawings or other visual displays to stories or recounts of experiences when appropriate to clarify ideas, thoughts, and feelings.
Our writing focus this year will conclude with the writing of several poems that include the poetry elements of rhyme, alliteration, and repetition.
Math
Draw a picture graph and a bar graph (with single-unit scale) to represent a data set with up to four categories. Solve simple put-together, take-apart, and compare problems1 using information presented in a bar graph.
Generate measurement data by measuring lengths of several objects to the nearest whole unit, or by making repeated measurements of the same object. Show the measurements by making a line plot, where the horizontal scale is marked off in whole-number units.
We will continue our “Count By ___” this week. We have memorized counting by 2s, 3s, 4s, and 5s. This week we will practice counting by 6s, 7s, and 8s. We will conclude next week with counting by 9s and 10s. This activity sets us up for success in third grade by developing mastery of our multiplication facts. We will be working on adding and subtracting 2 and 3-digit addition and subtraction problems, and we will review several common core math standard activities.
Science/Social Studies
Life Science/Interactions with Habitats/Economic Decision Making and Skills
This week, we will learn how the 17-year cicada causes change on Earth, and we will learn how most people around the world work in jobs in which they produce specific goods and services and how people use money to buy and sell goods and services. We will discuss how people earn an income by working.
Field Day
Please do not forget that Friday is Field Day. The weather forecast is for a warm day. Students should bring water bottles and wear sunscreen and a hat if at all possible.
