Last week was a great week.
Thanks to those of you that were able to join us on our field trip.
The kiddos seemed to enjoy the beautiful music at the symphony.
It was a great experience.
We also enjoyed reading buddy time with our preschool reading buddies.
Your second graders take this time very seriously.
They practiced reading "just right books" with fluency before they came...
And then we were ready!
Here's what's in store for this week...
CHRISTIAN CHARACTER FORMATION PROJECT
The struggle between good and evil will exist as
long as the earth exists… until God puts Satan in his place. This week we will explore this struggle by researching
about Moses and the 10 plagues. Just as the plagues in Egypt displayed God's
authority, Jesus directly addressed the needs of His people through His own
miracles, and helped bring deliverance through them. We will study the virtue
of RESPECT. Respect is God’s power for you to honor Him and others. As you
discuss all of this with your child have conversations about this big question…
“How can you choose to respect God and others even when you’re plagued by
trails?"
READING SKILL OF THE WEEK
As we continue to investigate good reading habits, this week we will explore how good readers ask themselves questions and make inferences as they read.
PHONICS and SPELLING
This week we will work on spelling words with long i spelling patterns. (i, igh, ie, y). Students will practice identifying rhymes and blending words with these patterns.

GRAMMAR and WRITING
Your kiddos are working really hard to publish paragraphs about things for which they are thankful... We are going to send their published pages off to an official publishing company to have a legitimate printed class book. Stay tuned on information about how to order your own book. I'm noticing that they are all applying so much of what they are learning in their writing. This week our grammar focus is using an apostrophe for possessive nouns.
