Aloha Second Grade Families,
Welcome to 2nd grade! I can’t tell you how excited I am to spend this school year with your child. I truly believe that God has great plans for our class, and I feel so blessed to be part of this chapter in your child’s life.
Thank you for trusting Trinity and me with their education this year. I know how precious these years are, and I’m committed to creating a classroom where your child feels safe, loved, and encouraged to grow, not just academically, but in their faith as well.
I’m looking forward to getting to know your family better and working together to make this a wonderful year filled with learning, laughter, and memorable moments. It’s going to be a great adventure, and I can’t wait to see what this year brings!
Blessings,
Mrs. Harlan
This Week:
This week we will be learning open and closed syllables and how to break words up into syllables. In grammar we will learn about proper nouns (places). We will begin a new vocabulary unit: Ancient Greek Civilizations. In science we will begin our unit: Magnetism. In Bible Study we will learn the stories:Othniel and Ruth.
Math Home Workbook Lessons:
Module 1 Lessons 37-38, Module 2 Lessons 1-3
Spelling Pattern:
UFLI lessons 67 and 68 (home practice words can be downloaded off our website here)
open syllables - a vowel ends the syllable which gives the vowel its long sound "no"
closed syllables - a consonant "closes" in a vowel by coming after it which gives the vowel its short sound "not"
Bible Memory Verse:
The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer. Isaiah 54:5

Please use your name placard at pickup time and arrive at the time of your oldest child (This rule is to allow the first wave of parents to pick up and leave without being trapped in the lot behind a parent waiting for a student that will not be released for 10 more minutes. This helps prevent excess traffic back-up on California Ave.) Parents arriving too early will be asked to please loop around to let the other parents out.
