What are We Learning?
In ELA this week we are reading from our Science textbook. We are learning all about plants and their life cycle. We will also begin writing persuasive letters to local businesses such as Lowe's to ask for donations for our pollination garden. We are focusing on vocabulary words related to flowers, bees, and other insects during part of our ELA time. We will practice with these vocabulary words in class all week so the kids will be very familiar with their meanings by Friday.
Our spelling words for the week have -y endings. They are: crunchy, frosty, sleepy, summery, stormy, pretty, mighty, rusty, jumpy, and spidery. We will work with these words during our phonics lessons all week. Your kiddos should also practice the words at home to make sure they are ready for Friday's test.
In Math, we will wrap up chapter 7 on measurement and graphing. We will complete a review tomorrow and will take our assessment Wednesday. They will bring their review home with them tomorrow night to help them study for Wednesday's test. Don't forget your child can log on to xtramath.org and practice basic math facts at home. It is very important that they master these facts in second grade.
