Week of May 6th

This week is a BIG week for our class. We'll be busy bees getting ready for chapel and the Author Celebration. Thanks for remembering to RSVP. 

CHRISTIAN CHARACTER FORMATION PROJECT 

This week we will read from Acts about Pentecost. We’ll revisit the virtue COURAGE, which we define as God’s power for you overcome fear. As we study this passage, we’ll ask ourselves this “Big Question” – How can knowing Jesus give you the courage to help other people?

PHONICS and SPELLING

This week's spelling will be different. We pre-tested on some second grade "Dolch Sight Words" and your students went home with lists that reflected words he/she missed from that list. It was their choice to choose more words or not.

READING 

"Benchmark Test" and reviewing "Good Reading Habits" are our goals for the next few weeks. Please encourage your second grader to finish the year strong!

WRITING

Your kiddos are working diligently to prepare for the Author Celebration on Wednesday! They can't wait to share all of their hard work with you.
