Week of February 26th

The "Walk of Fame" was such a success! 
Thanks for being a partner with us on this project! 
The children really enjoyed sharing all the information they learned!
First, they used the green screen to read the biographies they wrote in class.
We kind of LOVE the green screen!



Then, they added their background...






AND THEN... the hall presentations! 
They nailed it!





Here's what's in store for this week!  

CHRISTIAN CHARACTER FORMATION 
We will read about how Jesus heals the blind man from Mark 10:46-52. The virtue from this story is DILIGENCE. We define diligence as God’s power for you to focus on your work. As we read and learn, we’ll ask ourselves the following “Big Question:” What do you need to throw aside to follow Jesus with determination?

PHONICS and SPELLING 
The schwa sound is the most common vowel sound in English. It can disguise itself using any of the five vowel sounds. This week we will study words that use the schwa "uh" sound.

READING SKILLS and STRATEGIES 
We have a lot of March Book Madness books to read this week! Reading these books is such an exciting way to read just for entertainment - and then decide our opinions of each of the books. Voting begins soon! Come check out the school halls to see the updated brackets each week!

GRAMMAR and WRITING 
Speaking of opinions, we're going to launch a new writing unit that will tie in perfectly to March Book Madness... persuasive writing! As your second grader learns about persuasive writing they will write opinion pieces in which they introduce a topic, state an opinion, and supply reasons that support their opinion. I can't wait to see what kind of opinions come from your sweet children!
