Reading
strategy:
Back Up and Reread.
Good readers are always asking themselves
“does what I am reading make sense?” If it is not making sense, we should back
up and reread.
We have been reviewing the reading
strategies learned in grade 1:
Eagle Eye, Lips the Fish, Stretchy Snake, Chunky
Monkey, Skippy Frog, Flippy Dolphin, Tryin’ Lion, and Helpful Kangaroo
. Please use the strategy book mark provided
while your child is reading with you at home.
This week’s focus:
Stretchy
Snake
: Stretch out the word so you can hear each sound.
Writing:
We
are working on generating ideas to write about.
We are also learning about the writing process. Good writers follow a process of thinking
about a topic before they write. We are working on writing an introduction,
followed by details related to the topic, and finally a conclusion.
Math
: We will be continuing our unit on patterns this week. We
will continue to explore repeating and increasing patterns. You can support your child’s learning by
having him/her create, extend, and copy patterns using various household
materials.
Starting this week, each child will be
responsible for bringing home a book to read each night.
