Grade 2 Week
at a Glance (Oct.21-25)

 

 

 

 Tuesday Night – Pack library books to be sent back Wednesday. 

 

 
 

Nightly – read good fit book, practice sight words/words of the
week and sound teams introduced up to this point

 

 
 

 
 

Literacy:

 

Words of the Week: sale, knew, write, writing, children, tell 

 

 
 

Word Family:  -ale.  How many words can you think of that end with
the –ale

 

sound?

 

 
 

Sound Team:  we will
continue reviewing the silent e on the end of words as well as the long vowel
strategy: when two vowels go walking the first one does the talking – oa, ea ,ee,  ie, ai, ay, ue.  So, when 2 vowels are beside each other the
first was says its name and the other one is silent.      (You will have to highlight ue on the
list of sound teams this week.)

 

 

 

Reading:
 This
week’s focus: Tryin’ Lion…Try to
reread the sentence and try a word that makes sense.

 

 
 

 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.
