Second Grade Weekly Study Skills
Unit 6, Week 2 (Red, White, and Blue: The Story
of the American Flag)
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
