Week of February 11th

We had another fun week last week.
Our field trip to CPH was a huge success.

And, I hope you heard about our publishing party!



CHRISTIAN CHARACTER FORMATION PROJECT 
This week we will read from Matthew 9 and learn about how Jesus called Matthew. The virtue we will focus on is Self-Sacrifice. We define Self-sacrifice as God's power for you to give up something to help others. We'll ask ourselves this "Big Question" - How can answering Jesus' call to follow Him change your life completely? 

READING SKILLS and STRATEGIES 
This week will be reviewing lots of different skills and strategies as we read popular African American history books, and books written by Mike Wohnoutka who will be visiting our school on Friday. 

PHONICS and SPELLING 
We will be reading, sorting and spelling words with the "oi" and oy" spelling patterns. 

GRAMMAR and WRITING 
This week we will be working diligently on our Famous American biography reports. Everyone should have brought back their "notes" today. We will be using those notes to draft the reports all week. It would be nice to have the books your child read to take the notes, as well. Please note - February 22nd at 2:15 is our class "Walk of Fame."  During the "Walk of Fame," parents and other students from the school are invited to walk the school's halls while your second graders teach them about their Famous American. Your second grader should plan on dressing up "in character" that day. We will NOT have formal presentations in class.
