Grade 2 Week at a Glance (Oct. 23-27)
Wednesday Night – Pack library books to be sent back Thursday.
Literacy:
Words of the Week: sale, mail, rain, write, truck, green, knew, trip
Word Family: -ale. How many words can you think of that end with the –ale sound?
We will be reviewing two and three letter blends. Please have your child read/spell the following words: scrape, treat, trick, scream, split, brick.
We will also be looking at silent letters b, K, w. For example, climb, knife, wrong.
Writing: We will be starting an independent piece of writing this week. This piece will be marked according to the grade 2 outcomes which will give you a snapshot of your child’s writing progress.
Math: We will continue to represent numbers to 50 in a variety of ways. Please continue to practice the following with your child:
· Counting forward by 2’s starting at an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7…)
· Count by 2’s starting at an even number other than 2.
· Say “write the number that has 2 tens and 3 ones” and have your child write the numeral (23). Try it several times this week with numbers up to 50.
· One more one less than numbers to 50.
· Ask your child to represent a given number up to 50, using house hold items (buttons, noodles etc). Have them show you the number in groups of 10’s and 1’s. For example; 34 would be 3 groups of 10 and 4 singles.
· Identify odd/even numbers to 20.
· Place five numbers (up to 50) in front of your child and have them order them from least to greatest or greatest to least. Ask them how they know the order.
