Note From the Teachers' Desk:
Embedded Files
Hello 2nd Grade Families,
Just a quick note, I encourage each child to keep a waterbottle in the classroom, it helps save time! Also with the weather change please encourage kids to have a sweater as we will go outside as much as possible. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about the year or your child!
Thanks for all you do!
Melissa

Spelling List:
Spelling words will go home at the end of the week and will be tested at the end of the following week. This will give your students at least a week to study their spelling words. The spelling words are decodable from sounds we’ve learned plus one tricky word to practice. Please have your child practice sounding out the words rather than memorizing. Knowing the rules and using the sounds will help them apply sound spellings to a variety of words. For example, learning ‘a_e’ can help spell bake, cake, rake, make, etc.
Test on Friday 10/15

Social Emotional Learning: We are looking forward to focusing on Gratitude this month! One way to think about Gratitude is “choosing to appreciate the people and things in our lives.” Practicing Gratitude can increase our well-being and our happiness. Gratitude is 1 of 3 traits we will focus on throughout the year that helps students Be Well. Throughout the school, students will be developing skills like emotion regulation, positive self-talk, and stress management.
Our Learning:
Skills: We will continue Unit 2 by reviewing sound-spellings /or/ like 'for' and /ar/ like 'car', tricky words, and quotation marks. We will spend time planning, writing, editing, and publishing a Narrative Book Report.
We will continue reading the decodable book: Bedtime Tales. Some of these chapters will be sent home periodically. Please review the chapters with your child to practice their reading. *This can be signed and returned for a sticker
