Second Grade Amazing Dalmatians
Week 9: October 18-21 , 2016
No School Monday!
Outclass Schedule
Reading
We had a great week learning about the external and internal character traits from some of our favorite book characters. Next week our focus will be on context clues. We will use these clues to find out the meaning of unknown words within a passage, story, or text.
Ex. of Context Clues
Julie bought a gift for her mom at a cart in the mall. The kiosk sells special chocolate candies.
In this sentence, the word kiosk means
- car
- office
- department
- cart
Writing
This week we got started on a new writing prompt. We brainstormed a list of times we were sick or hurt. We will continue this prompt next week and focus on the use of adjectives to describe the nouns we have used. We use adjectives to make our sentences more descriptive.
We want to SHOW our readers what happened during our small moment. The students will continue to work with their writing buddy to generate sentences that show our readers what happened.
We will also spend some time editing and revising our work. Writing conferences will help the students see what they need to work on to improve their personal narratives.
