In Unit 6, we'll practice long vowels, multisyllabic words with closed and vowel-consonant-e syllables, compound words, sounds of s as /s/ or /z/, as well as the suffix -ive. A support packet has been sent home in Friday Folders!

Language Arts
We'll spend next week working on silent reading or leveling up in Lexia before starting our Reading for Information unit thereafter.
Explorer Block
Students are divided amongst the five second grade classrooms to get targeted phonics support based on their assessment scores.
Social-Emotional Learning
Students have been participating in structured Social Emotional Learning lessons each morning before Specialities! This sets the day up for success and reminds them of helpful language they can use throughout the day. We will continue learning about responsibility. This will be a 4-week unit where we explore responsibility at school, practice engagement, and build community circle agreements and participation skills.

Students have rocked Unit 1! I am beyond impressed by their knowledge and partnership skills. Next week, we'll move into Unit 2! In this unit, students add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and the relationship between addition and subtraction. They then use what they know to solve story problems.
Phonics

This will help them find more enjoyment out of a book and they're learning how to reflect on what they are reading. Please remember to read with your student for 20 minutes a night!
Social-Emotional Learning
Students have been participating in structured Social Emotional Learning lessons each morning before Specialities! This sets the day up for success and reminds them of helpful language they can use throughout the day. This week, we focused on respect and the difference between big and small problems. Next week, we'll continue learning about how we show respect.
