Weekly Focus Information for the Week of January 25, 2021 to January 29, 2021
Dear Parents,
Spelling:
This week we will review our first two 2nd grade, 3rd quarter Red Words. Our first two Red Words are always and brother. Our new “Green Word Pattern” phonics lesson will be “ir” as in bird ( r-Controlled Vowel or bossy r).
Red Words RF.2.3
“Red Words” are non-phonetic words that do not follow the rules and cannot be sounded out.
Our “Red Word” spelling test this week will be the following 3rd quarter 2nd grade Red Words: always and brother.
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, January 29, 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 r's or bossy r. The second of the three will be the spelling ir which is the second most frequently used. It should be the next choice when making an educated guess about how to spell a word with a bossy r. 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 “ir” words on their Friday spelling test.
Recount stories, including fables and folktales from diverse cultures, and determine their central message, lesson, or moral.
Compare and contrast two or more versions of the same story (e.g., Cinderella stories) by different authors or from different cultures.
Reading
We will continue to focus on our standard of RL.2.2 throughout the week as we review the elements of a fable, as well as, compare and contrast two fables. We will also continue our study of “Fairy Tales.” We will review the elements of a fairy tale and complete a “plot diagram” for our new fairy tale, Lon Po Po, by Ed Young. We will read this selection during Guided Reading groups.
Our writing focus will continue to be informational writing activities within our reading and science studies. (W2.2)
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.
Explain why addition and subtraction strategies work, using place value and the properties of operations.1
Math
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 9 – 10 this week and complete our Lesson 9 - 10 Quiz on Wednesday. We will end our week completing Lessons 12 and 13, 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.
Thank you,
