Grade 2 Week at a Glance (Jan. 13-Jan. 17)

 

 

 

Tuesday Night –
Pack library books to be sent back Wednesday.  (We still do not have a librarian.)

 

 
 

 
 

Nightly – read good fit book, practice sight words, practice
sound teams introduced up to this point. 
Students now have the option of reading books online on Raz-kids

 

 
 

 
 

Literacy:

 

Words of the Week:  hurt, saw, sister, first, girl, after, bug    Please highlight on the sight word sheet sent
home at the start of the year.

 

 

 

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

 

 
 

Sound Teams: er, ir, ur all have the same sound.
Have your child practice reading: her,
dirt, fur, faster, shirt, curl

 

 
 

 
 

Reading strategies: Capital Letters for Emphasis

 

We will discuss
how authors sometimes use all uppercase letters to emphasize certain words.
They are encouraged to use this strategy in their own writing.

 

 
 

Writing: Connecting words

 

We will be continuing to learn how to make our writing
more fluent by using connecting or linking words. Students often write
short/choppy sentences, however, connecting words like and, so, with, but, because can be used to connect two short
sentences, or to add more detail to a sentence. For example, rather than
writing I like sliding. It is fun. Students can use a connecting word
to make a longer more fluent sentence I like sliding because it is fun.

 

 

 

Math:   We will continue to apply mental math
strategies to determine basic addition facts to 18 and related subtraction
facts.  Our focus this week will be
showing the relationship between addition and subtraction facts.  For example, if your child knows 7+3=10 (making
ten) they should be able to use that knowledge to solve 10-3 = 7 or

 

10-7=3.    If your child knows 6+6=12 (double) then
they should be able to solve 12-6 = 6 quickly.

 

 
 

Also
refer to last week’s homework for outcomes to review.

Skating:  Wednesday, Jan. 15 from 9:00-10:00 and Wednesday, Jan.  22 from
