We have been working hard learning about space last week and we took some time to paint our rocks and relax on Friday after we had learned about the caves in Lascoux, France and taken several assessments. (Those tests will be in your child's Friday folder next week.) I appreciate the number of reading minutes I saw recorded last week. It really makes a difference!! Here is our theme for next week-we are going to explore nature with Henry and Mudge...
Second Grade Weekly Study Skills
Unit 1, Week 3 (Henry and Mudge and the Starry Night)
Below are the skills
and vocabulary we will be working on for the next 5 days. (*Please note: our literacy lessons are based
on 5-day plans that may or may not align with a M-F schedule. In an effort to
teach the entire grade level core, we will send home the “weekly study skills”
on the day that we begin a new 5-day instructional sequence.) You can support your child’s literacy skills
