Week of Nov. 11th

Next week in reading, we will be discussing the many different ways we can communicate.  The students will be reading a realistic fiction story called Dear Juno.  We will be working on the comprehension skill of drawing conclusions.  We will work on the comprehension strategy of visualizing.  In phonics and spelling we will be focusing on words with the long o sound ( spelled o, oa, or ow).  In language arts we will work on singular and plural nouns.  We will also continue working on writing a narrative paragraph.  We will learn about Veteran's Day on Monday.  Second graders will continue learning about Native Americans next week during social studies.  We will especially focus on the Plains Natives who used to live in our region.  During math class we will learn to add two-digit numbers to two-digit numbers, regrouping as needed.  Have a great weekend.  Please keep encouraging your child to read at least 15 minutes every night and study their spelling words
