Looking forward to another exciting week! Here are our objectives...
This week we will read about Jesus' crucifixion and death from John chapter 19. The virtue we will discuss is SELF-SACRIFICE. We define self-sacrifice as God's power for you to give up something to help others. The "Big Question" we will ask ourselves is - What makes you want to sacrifice for others?
PHONICS and SPELLING
This week we will read, sort and spell words with the ear, eer, and ere spelling sounds and patterns. There are a lot of homophone choices again this week. If your child's list has these, be sure to help him/her know the difference in meaning.
READING SKILLS and STRATEGIES
I hope your second grader told you about the March Book Madness winner!! We had SO much fun with the "tournament" this year!
Our reading focus will continue to involve exploring nonfiction articles. The students will practice determining the main idea and learn to describe reasons that support their thoughts.
GRAMMAR and WRITING
Who knew poetry could be so fun? Last week we dove into the question, "What is poetry?" by reading and sharing lots of different poems. This week, the kiddos will look at life "through the eyes of a poet" and start writing their own poetry!
Don't forget to mark your calendars for our "Writing Celebration" on May 8th, which is just after our class chapel. This is a big event you won't want to miss!
