We will not focus on a specific virtue this week, but instead, we will celebrate our blessings with National Lutheran Schools' Week daily devotions.

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Hebrews 13:8
PHONICS and SPELLING
We will resume regular spelling routines this week. The words we'll be reading, sorting and spelling will have the "long oo" sound, spelled with oo, ue, ew, ui, and oe spelling patterns.
READING SKILLS and STRATEGIES
Your second graders are still working on thinking, wondering, and asking questions, as they read. This week, we will discuss thin versus thick questions, and challenge each other to dig deeper into the text.
GRAMMAR and WRITING
Your second graders are leaning a lot about what it takes to be a realistic fiction author. This week, they'll work on polishing some of the pieces they've created so far, but they'll also hit the pause button and create a 100th Day of School piece that should generate a good laugh! Also, thanks again for keeping up with those Friday Journals. The kiddos LOVE writing you!
