Week of April 17, 2023- Things we will be working on:
ELA/Reading-Grade 2
Ready Gen (savvasrealize.com)-We will
be working on Unit 3. We will be reviewing short vowel sounds, syllabication,
nouns, making sentences, and writing paragraphs. The children should review
when to use a capital letter and punctuation at the end of the sentence. The
children will receive the vocabulary words for the stories in Unit 3, Module B.
We will be reviewing these words in class, and they should review them at home
(a few each night). See the class notebook (back of the book).
Please make sure that your child
reads for 20 minutes each night, including weekends. This is important and a
big part of their reading homework. You can
choose any book that you want, and children can read alone or read with parents.
Both ways are equally helpful. Try and ask your child questions about the story
and discuss details with them. It is important
for them to bring a book to school every day to read in school for silent
reading. It can be the same book that he/she is reading at home or a different
book. We are trying to build fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension skills.
****The Edgenuity Program: The
children should be working on ELA for twenty minutes every night, including
weekends. This will help to practice for the MAP testing in May.
All homework will be assigned on Google Classroom.
Directions and due dates will be given. Please make sure that your child
completes all assignments. If there is nothing assigned in Google Classroom,
then your child should read for 20 minutes and complete 20 minutes of Edgenuity
for ELA.
Science Grade 2
The students have been working on Unit 3, Concept 3.1. There
will be a test on Unit 3, Concept 3.1 (Vocabulary and Notes) next week.
