Literacy

High Frequency
Words: Valentine’s Day Words
We will practice reading and spelling a variety of
Valentine’s Day words this week. Please take this time to review any words on
the Grade 2 High Frequency list that your child has yet to master.
Word Family:
-ay
. How many words can you think of that end with
the –ay sound?
Literacy:
“
y” on end of words
We will be learning the sounds
that the letter y can make on the end of words. Sometimes it can make the “long
e” sound as in “mone
y
” and other
times it makes the “long i” sound as in “tr
y
”.
Have your child try reading the following words: sk
y

y (pretty is on our Grade 2 High
Frequency list. Please be sure to highlight that on your copy).
Reading strategies
:
Phrasing and Rate
We will be working on improving fluency this week by
practicing reading with appropriate phrasing and rate. (Don’t read word by word
slowly-the robot way!)
Writing: Valentine’s
Day
We will be doing a variety of Valentine’s Day themed
writing projects this week.
Math:
We are continuing our unit on two digit addition and
subtraction. The learning goals of this
unit will build upon what was learned in our unit on addition and subtraction
to 18.
We are focusing on using models such as hundred
charts, open number lines, and base ten blocks to solve addition problems.
We are also using the front-end strategy which has
students add the tens and then the ones.
For example: 42+21think…. 40+20 =60 and 2+1=3 and 60+3= 63.
We will continue to use models to solve different
types of 2 digit addition problems this week.
The students will be taught several strategies and then they will pick
the one that works best for them.
Please have your child continue to add and subtract
groups of ten to different two digit numbers.
They should be able to mentally add/subtract tens quickly. 24+30, 50 -20, 30+47 etc. If your child finds this easy have then
practice adding a two digit to a two digit number, both numbers have some in
the ones place, without regrouping (
meaning the ones do not add to more than
9.....
4
6+
3
5 would require regrouping, since 6+5 is greater than
9.)
. For
example: 21+32, 53+24, 62+12, 84+11.
