Mrs. Turley's Tidbits
Week of 4/24 - 4/28
Happy Book Fair and Open House Week!
Fundations:
We began Unit 14 this week. This unit focuses on the vowel teams of ou and ow to make the sound of /ou/. The ow makes more than one sound as it can also be the sound of long o. It's going to be a tricky unit!
Literacy:
We are working on our fluency skills to show growth in our words read per minute. We also continue to work on our comprehension skills and responding in writing to our reading.
Math:
We reviewed the concepts in Unit 5 which covers geometry and fractions. We took the Unit Assessment and then had a chance to "retake" the test and correct our errors.
Writing Workshop:
We began to discuss the concepts of "opinion" and "persuasion." We read books that helped us with these topics and then began to write persuasive letters to our friends. We know that the LAST SENTENCE is the most powerful and convincing sentence in our letters and our essays. Beware...you won't be able to resist our POWERS OF PERSUASION!
The Woodridge Police Chief was at school Monday morning.
He brought a second grader and his bagpipe to school!
He led our second grade classes into the school...how cool!
