We are officially into the month of March!! Spring cannot be far away now!
This week in room 105, we will be wrapping up our unit on Opinion writing. Students have selected one book to write a paper about and present to fellow second graders on Friday, March 6th. We will send home details tomorrow... students are allowed to dress as a character from their chosen book! This is optional. Please discuss at home what your child would like to do!
In reading workshop last week we formed "goal groups". Students selected a reading goal in the area of: fluency, comprehension or literary language. Groups formed a plan for meeting and discussing progress. We will discuss this week how to give a compliment or a suggestion and how to help your group hold a discussion.I am excited to see how the students take this on!
In math, we have reached the end of Unit 6. On Monday we will have the last unit 6 lesson. Students will bring home study guides. The study guide is due on Wednesday, March 4th. We will have the test on Thursday, March 5th. Sorry for the change, due to the snow day and a half day Tuesday I had to push back the unit 6 test!
I will send home the unit 7 family letter which outlines the next unit of math.
In phonics we will learn about hard and soft G and C. We will learn a song to help us remember when the C and G makes a soft sound (before E, I and Y). We will do some sorting in our rug groups and learn about the words that sometimes can be tricky with soft C and G.
In Social Studies, we hope to begin the unit on the history of Walled Lake!
Remember, Tuesday, March 3rd is a half day. Students are dismissed at 12:25 pm.
Also, keep the date for March 26th - the Second grade musical: Stone Soup! Ben is getting his "villager outfit" together, we can't wait!
Have a great week!
Mrs. Scheck
