Feb. 18th- Feb. 21st

Thank you so much for meeting with me at Parent/ Teacher conferences, I always enjoy talking with each and every one of you! 

I hope that you all enjoyed the four day weekend. We are going to have a packed week this week.  Our spelling test will be on Friday. 

Reminder: There is going to be no homework next week due to ITBS, but please make sure that you are reading with your child every night! 
Literacy- 

This week we will be answering the big question "How can we work together to solve problems?" Our main selection will be called "One Good Turn Deserves Another."  We will work to understand that working together resolves conflict, share responsibility and work, allows us to spend time with others as well as help those in need. We will be learning 8 more amazing words! They are conflict, pursue, resolve, deserve, mope, coax, ramp and startle. Our high-frequency words this week include: behind, brought, door, everybody, minute, promise, sorry. Children will also be able to identify and use possessive nouns.

Religion-

    We will be be talking about prayer and learning about the petitions in the Our Father. 

Math-
  
As a second grade, we are going to skip a few topics in Pearson (we will be going back to them.) We will be covering measurement, time and money before moving into three digit addition and subtraction. 

Social Studies/Science-


We will be talking about pollination and harmful and helpful insects this week as well as understanding the life cycles that a bug goes through. This week we will also be looking at poetry and students will be able to compare them to the information that we have already learned. Just a friendly reminder that the insect projects are due on February 24th. There will be time that week that we will have a showcase. When we have more information I will be sure to let you know! 


Spelling-

We will be working on spelling the vowel patterns -a, -ay, and -ai
