Welcome to 2-1
for the Week of
September 16, 2019!
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!
It was so wonderful to meet all of the parents at Back to School Night and to see all of the smiling faces at our Block Party! What a perfect way to begin this exciting school year ahead!
All school handbooks were sent home this past Friday with the youngest child in each family. Please be sure to read it over this weekend and send back the enclosed card by this Monday, signed, stating that your family has reviewed the handbook.
Religion
Hot Lunch will begin this Monday, Sept. 16.
Attention all band members: Band lessons will begin this Friday, Sept. 20.
There will be a Math Quiz on addition strategies this Wednesday as well as a Phonics Check-Up on Thursday and our weekly Spelling Test on Friday. Please see the Spelling section below for the complete list of Spelling words for this week.
During the warm weeks ahead, please remember to pack an extra water bottle for you child to keep on their desk.
Weekly News
This week, the children will discover how we need God's love to grow inside of us so that we can become closer to Him. We will find ways that we can follow Jesus like His disciples did, and know that we can make our relationship grow stronger with Him through prayer. Please remember to say a Hail Mary each day to honor our class saint, Our Blessed Mother Mary.
Math
We will continue to focus on the addition strategies that help us to solve a number sentence, by adding three numbers to find a sum and writing a number sentence to solve a word problem. These strategies along with last week's strategies of using the community and identity properties to find a sum, counting on using a number line, using doubles to find a sum, and making a ten to solve a problem will be included on our Math Quiz which will take place this Wednesday.
Homework will be given on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday of this week.
Reading
The class will explore the theme of how families around the world are the same and different by reading the stories, "Maria Celebrates Brazil" and "The Big Red Lollipop". 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. The story from their reader, which will go home on Thursday, will satisfy their 15 minutes of reading for that night.
Phonics
The children will learn the rules of when to use the "c, k, and ck" combinations when spelling "k" sounding words. We will also review the concepts of digraphs and blends. Please see the phonics packet that was sent home last week regarding these topics. A Phonics Assessment on these concepts will take place on Thursday. 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 following list are our spelling words for this week: 1. went, 2. tell, 3. pet, 4. job, 5. fog, 6. not, 7. tug, 8. hut, 9. tub, 10. bun, 11. they, 12. said, 13. one, 14. or, 15. see

Writing
Utilizing their knowledge of writing in complete sentences, the class will write a sensory poem about the season of Autumn.
