Dear parents,
Time is flying! As we approach winter break, our classroom is filled with excitement and learning! This week, students have been finishing and editing their last poems to get ready to share them next week. They have been exploring new ideas, and celebrating the progress made so far. It's been a joy to see how much they've grown, and we're excited to finish the year strong before enjoying a well-deserved break. Important dates: December 09th- NO SCHOOL; December 11th - Last day of afterschool sports; December 12th - Early dismissal for Students, at 11:00am; December 13th- Last day of school- Students dismiss at 11:00am.
Learning Goal
Our 2nd grade Poets will edit all their poems.
In Phonics, 2nd graders have been learning about Spelling Rules when adding -ed, -ing and -er endings to words. If the word has 1 syllable, a short vowel and ends in a consonant, they need to double the last consonant before adding the endings. For example: stop, stopped, stopping, stopper. They have also discovered the different ways to spell action words in the past tense such as throw --> threw, drink --> drank.
For Phonics, students can practice adding the -ed, -ing and -er endings to the following words: bat, hop, plan, scrub, skip.
Learning Goal
Los estudiantes aprenderán a escribir conclusiones que refuercen su opinión principal y a revisar sus textos utilizando una lista de verificación.
Durante esta semana, los estudiantes aprenderán nuevas estrategias para escribir conclusiones que refuerzan de manera clara su opinión principal. También, aprenderán a utilizar una lista de verificación para revisar y editar su escritura. Además, trabajarán en agregar detalles relevantes, respaldar sus opiniones con razones y ejemplos claros, y asegurarse de que sus ideas sean comprensibles y persuasivas para los lectores.
Escritores en casa deben:
-Leer su opinión.
-Pensar en lo más importante que quiere decir y escribir una frase que explique la opinión de forma clara y corta.
-Escribir una frase final que haga pensar al lector.
-Leer la conclusión en voz alta para asegurarse de que suena bien y es clara.
-Usar la lista de verificación para revisar su escritura.
-Si es necesario, agrega más detalles, razones o ejemplos que apoyen su opinión.
