Weekly Focus Information for the Week of December 7, 2020 to December 11, 2020
Dear Parents,
Spelling:
This week our 2nd Quarter, second grade “Red Words” will be it’s and its. Our new “Green Word Pattern” phonics lessons will be the vowel teams “oe” and “ay.” (3rd Grade Red Words - show and only with review of it's and its)
Red Words RF.2.3
“Red Words” are non-phonetic words that do not follow the rules and cannot be sounded out.
Our next three Red Words will be as follows: it’s and its. We will once again study these words throughout the week before we have our weekly spelling test.
The final grade for these words will be on Friday, December 11, 2020.
Green Word Pattern Focus
Our “Green Word” pattern focus for the week will be learning about vowel teams. Our two vowel teams are ay and oe. The vowel team ay says long a, and the vowel team oe says long o. Please practice these words as your child brings them home on dictation pages. Weekly spelling words may come from the dictation pages. Students will be expected to apply all classroom information to ten or more “ay” and “oe” words on their Friday spelling test.
Identify the main topic of a multiparagraph text as well as the focus of specific paragraphs within the text.
