Week of December 15-19

Dear Parents,

Wow! The last week before winter break has arrived! Soon it will be 2015 and your children will be almost half way through 2nd grade. Time is flying! We want to say thank you to all the families for all you do to support the school, teachers, and of course students. We appreciate all you do. This week we are wrapping up some units and doing some fun activities. We will be having the PACK assembly at 1:30 in the gym with our winter parties following on Friday, the 19th at 2:30 to 3:30. 

This week we will focus on..

F.A.S.T (Phonics)- We will begin concept 14. We will be looking at the best spelling for long a. Here are the spellings: a= in open syllable, a-e and ai = the middle of the word, ay= end of a word. 

Math: In 2nd grade math, we are working on unit 6, Whole-Nuber Operations and Number Stories. 3rd grade math is working on unit 5.

Reading: We are stilling working around asking questions as we read. Our focus is around asking questions that we think the author will answer. WE WILL NOT HAVE READING CONFERENCES THIS WEEK.

Wordly Wise: We will not have wordly wise this week. 

Writing: Students will be typing out their work on "If you were stuck in a snow globe, how could you get out?".
