Week of February 25th

Last Week's "Walk of Fame" was a huge success! 

Thanks for being a partner with us on this project! 

The children really enjoyed sharing all the information they learned!

Students also used the green screen to read the biographies they wrote in class.

You should have received a video of your child on SeeSaw.

Here's what's in store for the week... 

CHRISTIAN CHARACTER FORMATION 

We will read from Matthew about the unforgiving servant. The virtue from this story is INTEGRITY. We define integrity as God’s power for you to do the right thing. As we read and learn, we’ll ask ourselves this “Big Question” - How well do you reflect God's integrity toward others when they need forgiveness? 

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 next 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 these second graders!
