Week of Nov. 2nd

Next week second grade will be kicking off November by starting our Native American unit.  We'll be comparing and contrasting several different tribes, including the Plains Natives who lived in our area of Nebraska.  We will also be creating some beautiful coffee filter turkeys for our front windows.  In reading we'll be discussing how we can contribute to a celebration.  Our selection of the week will be an animal fantasy called A Turkey for Thanksgiving.  We'll be working on the comprehension skill of drawing conclusions and  visualizing.  In phonics and spelling the students will be learning how to read and spell long a words spelled with a, ai, or ay.   In language arts we will continue working on our class books.  The students will also be working on correctly writing possessive nouns.  In math we will move onto Topic 7:  MentalSubtraction.  Have a great weekend.
