Dear Parents and Students,
We are all looking forward to another fabulous week of Second Grade as our love of God, our love of learning, and our love for each other SHINE throughout our time together!
Our walking Field Trip to the Bellmore Firehouse has been rescheduled for this Thursday, Nov. 21. New permission slips will be sent home on Monday. Please return them to school by Tuesday.
Our Thanksgiving Food Drive will be coming to an end on Nov. 25. Thank you to all who made their donations of boxed potatoes to this cause.
A Math Test on place value will take place on Wednesday and we will have a Spelling Test on Friday.
A study guide for our test on animal habitats will be sent home this week. The test will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 27.
Please remember to mark your calendar for our annual K-3 Advent Lessons and Carols Concert which will take place on Wednesday morning, Dec. 4 in the Thomas Reynold's gymnasium.
Weekly News
We will continue with our next chapter in our Reconciliation Book which focuses on how we are healed through the forgiveness by receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation and will include a discussion of the ways that we can celebrate the Sacrament. Please make every effort to set aside time to engage in a conversation about each day's lesson to reinforce your child's knowledge about this beautiful Sacrament of forgiveness.
Please remember to say a Hail Mary each day to honor our class saint, Our Blessed Mother Mary.
Math
We will complete our chapter on place value by reviewing all of the concepts learned throughout this chapter. A Math Test will be given on Wednesday. Homework will be given from Monday through Wednesday of this week.
Reading
This week, we will explore what animals stories can teach us in fiction stories when reading "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" and "Wolf, Wolf" in our readers. A reading comprehension test on these stories will be given on Friday. Please remember to have your child read for 15 minutes at least five days throughout the week and record their books on their reading logs.
Phonics
The children will continue to work with syllable division in multisyllabic words while being introduced to the suffixes -ful, -ment, -ness, -en, -ish, -able. Please see the phonics packet that was sent home earlier this month regarding this topic. It is important that the children practice their phonics skills on a daily basis at home in order to meet with success in this area.
Spelling
The children will be introduced and tested on the following words: 1. place 2. barge 3. trace 4. ice 5. bulge 6. badge 7. space 8. range 9. mice 10. cage 11. 12. 13. out 14. was 15. saw

The children will learn to identify and use proper nouns in sentences.
Writing
The class will work on writing a "Pilgrim Postcard" entitled, My Mayflower Journey .
Science
We will review habitats this week in preparation for a test on Wednesday, Nov. 27.
