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, February 5, 2021.

Green Word Pattern Focus
RF.2.3 Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words
Our “Green Word” pattern/focus for the week will once again be the “r-Controlled Vowels.” They are introduced as the three / /’s or the bossy r. The last of the three will be the spelling ur which is the least frequently used. 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 “ur” words on their Friday spelling test.
Reading
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.9
Compare and contrast two or more versions of the same story (e.g., Cinderella stories) by different authors or from different cultures.
We will continue to focus on our standard of RL.2.9 throughout the week as we review the elements of a fairy tale, as well as, compare and contrast two fairy tales. We will complete a large “plot diagram” for our new fairy tale, Cinderella, by Edie Evans. We will then read the fairy tale, Cinderello, by Evan Russell, and complete a smaller plot diagram, as well as, a compare and contrast the two texts during our Guided Reading groups.
Our writing focus will continue to be informational writing activities within our reading and science studies. (W2.2)
Math
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.B.7
Add and subtract within 1000, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method. Understand that in adding or subtracting three-digit numbers, one adds or subtracts hundreds and hundreds, tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose or decompose tens or hundreds.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.B.9
Explain why addition and subtraction strategies work, using place value and the properties of operations.1
Our focus will be relating addition using manipulatives to a written vertical method and using math drawings to represent the composition when adding a two-digit to a three-digit addend. We will complete Lessons 14 - 16, Module 4, with a Lessons 11 - 16 Quiz, Module 4.
Science/Social Studies –
Our Science focus will continue to be force and motion. We will be conducting experiments in the classroom and completing a new “science journal.” We will also be conducting experiments showing how air is present in the atmosphere.
