2nd Grade
Home Base

In Phonics this week, the students have been working on determining which consonant to use for -ce or -se endings. They have to decide what looks right when spelling words like house and bounce. Sometimes the ending sounds like a /z/ like in cheese. The students were also introduced to the -ge and -dge endings of words like in cage or badge. Once again, they have to decide what "looks right". 👀 For Writing we will celebrate that our 2nd graders are Non Fiction Authors. They have published two wonderful nonfiction books full with information that attracts their audience.

Keep practicing reading and spelling the tricky Word Wall words: better, follow, happen, different, people, terrible, trouble, answer and surprise. Writing: Create another non fiction book at home, thinking about your audience, include fancy words.
