Highlights from Second Grade
Literacy
In Superkids we have just begun Unit 4. This week's lesson focused on silent letters in words, the prefix 'un', and some dictionary skills. Next week we are taking a week off from Superkids to research information about different countries. The spelling list for the first week in January will go home on December 18th.
Our Super magazine this time is titled Go, Go, Go! and talks about unexpected things that move in some very interesting ways.
Just a reminder that TumbleBooks is a program available to us through the Woodridge Public Library. It will be available until at least March. Your student can use the link below to get to TumbleBooks. If it prompts you for a log on use:
username: woodridgepl
Password: woodridgeschools
Read books, play games, have fun!

In your student's Friday folder is the Real World Experience (RWE) assessment that we did yesterday. We allowed the students to correct their work if they could. If your child still has some wrong, please go over those items as another good review before the test on Monday.
Star Student
Connor was our Star Student this week. We learned that Connor has been to many places but his favorite place to visit is DISNEY! Connor has 2 brothers and 1 sister. His mom sent in a couple of video clips of Connor on a Blackhawks commercial and on the Tower of Terror ride in Hollywood Studios in Disney. Scary!
Our next Star Student is . . . Ava.
