Sorry for the Delay!! I finally got the homework up for the week...

Second Grade Weekly Study Skills

Unit 3, Week 1 (Pearl and Wagner:  Two Good Friends)

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 by reviewing, discussing, and practicing the skills and concepts below:
