for the Week of

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!
Please utilize this time to have your child work on their January Book Report Project. A memo regarding this project was sent home last week. The report and project are due by this Friday, January 24.
Our Weather Around the World Project presentations will take place on this Tuesday and Wednesday. Please check the memo that went home last week for the day of your child's presentation so that their supplies are brought into school.
This Thursday is a D3 Day. Please make every effort to take part in this fundraiser.
. Our weekly Spelling Test will take place on Friday as will our Reading Comprehension Test.
Remember to mark your calendars for Curriculum Sunday which will take place on Sunday, Jan. 26.The children have been hard at work preparing their projects for this day so please take the time to come by and see all of the wonderful things that have been going on in our classroom and around the school!
Weekly News
We will review the Ten Commandments and their meanings while constructing our own Commandment tablets. Please continue to make every effort to set aside time to engage in a conversation about the Sacrament of Reconciliation 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
The children will continue to learn about the concept of subtracting two digit numbers by subtracting two digit numbers with and without regrouping and rewriting two digit subtraction sentences. Please have your child work on the flash cards that were discussed at our Report Card Conference, so that they can increase their recognition of their Math facts. Homework will be given from Tuesday through Thursday of this week.
Reading
This week we will explore how weather communities can work together when we read the stories "Lighting Lives" and "Biblioburro" in our readers. Please remember to have your child read for 20 minutes at least five days throughout the week and record their books on their reading logs.
Phonics
The children will review the suffixes "ly, ty, and y" by building basewords with these "y" suffixes. A Phonics Check Up will not be given this week. Please see the phonics packet that was sent home 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.

5. mean, 6. leaf, 7. thief, 8. chief, 9. pony, 10. keys, 11. night, 12. carry, 13. after, 14. something,
