2B Happenings!
Working hard and having fun in 2B!
A Reminder about holiday traditions:
SPELLING HOMEWORK CHANGE FOR THIS WEEK
I have made a change to the spelling sentences assignment for this week. Expect to have this assignment changed up pretty regularly as we work to integrate learned concepts and ensure that students are absorbing material in a meaningful way. In so doing, I hope to help them improve their ability to apply their new skills. I am sensitive to how long this assignment can take, and I will keep the length of the assignment in mind as I make those changes.
Students have 15 words this week. Their assignment is as follows:
Select any three words, and write a 5-sentence paragraph using a four square. Topic Choice - How are you preparing for Christmas? -or- Tell me about your Christmas Tree.
Write the remaining 12 words 3 times each, sorted in columns by their suffix.
Bonus: Draw two word cartoons describing any two spelling words from the list.
Word List: sadly / helpful / kindly / hopeful / slowly / thankful / wishful / safely / useful / softly / harmful / harmless / goodness / careful / careless
