Grade 2-1 Trusts in Jesus!

What's Happening the Week of December 5th:


Religion

We will celebrate the Feast Day of St. Nicholas on December 6th and learn more about his life.

This week the students will continue their journey in Advent and will be performing in our Advent Lessons and Carols Concert this Wednesday, December 7th. Refer to the flyer that went home for further details.

The students will also attend Mass on December 8th to celebrate and honor The Immaculate Conception of Our Blessed Mother.

Please practice the Act of Contrition prayer at home, and we will also pray this prayer at school each day.

Math

We continue to work on subtraction of two-digit numbers with regrouping and will even make a Christmas "Subtraction" Tree!

A subtraction quiz on Lessons 1, 3, and 4 from Chapter 4 is planned for Tuesday, Dec. 6th.

ELA

Reading

Our Essential Question is, "How are offspring like their parents?" Our story this week, "Baby Bears", in the Literature Anthology will answer this question and give our students more practice using the features of expository text to answer fact-based questions.  There is a reading test on the Essential Question this Friday.

Phonics

The students will delve into Week 2 of Unit 6 which introduces the "vowel-consonant-e" syllable type.  Examples of this syllable type are found in words like hope, cake, and cute. A parent letter went home last Monday explaining this unit in more detail.

This week the children will learn to write multisyllabic words with the "v-e" syllable type.  Examples are found in words like: reptile, postpone, sunrise, and exhale. There is a quiz on Thursday, Dec. 8th.

Videos on Unit 6, and previous units,  are included in the link box below.

This week's trick words are: right, place, together

A phonics quiz is planned for Thursday.

Spelling

There will not spelling words or a test this week.

Grammar/Writing

The class will do more review with both common and proper nouns.

The students will work on their final copy of their creative story about an imaginary trip to Santa's workshop using their five senses. 

Science

A review sheet will go home about the habitat test on
Dec. 12th; study the notes in the blue science notebook.  Notes are also posted in Google Classroom.

Each week students will spend two lessons on math and two lessons in reading based on their individual pathways.
