Good Morning Families......Happy New Year!!
We hope that everyone had a beautiful and restful winter break. It's hard to believe it's 2025!
Half of our school year is already over. Time is truly flying by us.
As we begin this new year, we will be getting ready for winter activities and projects. We are beginning Wonders Unit 2 Week 4 this week.
This week our class will be focusing on the ways that animal babies are like their parents. Your child will compare how babies and parents are the same and how they are different.
Here are some activities that you can do with your child to help reinforce the skills we’ll be practicing.
Word Workout
Words to Know: multiple-meaning words You and your child will make a book about animals and their babies. Your child will write each vocabulary word on a piece of paper, along with a sentence that uses the word. Then your child will illustrate each page to make a book.
Spelling/Phonics: consonant digraphs You and your child will choose words from the list, spell them, and think of other words that have the same beginning or ending sounds. This week’s words contain the beginning sounds of ch-, sh-, ph-, th-, and wh-, and the ending sounds of -tch, -sh, and -ing.
Please have your child continue with their Black History Research Disk. They will be presenting them for a speaking grade.
Have a beautiful day,
With Smiles,
The Second Grade Team
