10.4.19 Update
I can’t believe it’s already October! Please make sure to turn in the field trip permission slip within the next week if you haven’t already. If you have been contacted about being a chaperone, please make sure to send in $12.25 to cover the price of your ticket as well. 😊
Next Week:
Language Arts – We will continue talking about and writing summaries using SWBST format. Today the students chose a fiction story on Storyline Online and filled out a summary graphic organizer. Next week we will also be talking about summarizing in our reading groups.
We have started small reading groups and word study groups in our language arts block. Each group is formed based on your child’s developmental reading level and their spelling feature score on their PALS spelling test. This will give them individualized literacy support so they can grow as readers and spellers. If you want more information on your child’s levels I will provide the updated levels during late October/early November conferences along with ways to help them at home.
If you returned a conference time slot request form – I will get back to you by early next week with your time! I am so sorry for the delay.
Math – We will be continuing to review story problems and missing addends problems. I am noticing this skill is weak among our second grade students. (For example: __+5 = 13) We are practicing the “counting on” strategy and using a number line or 100’s chart to visually represent the numbers.
We will touch on “fact families” also next week which reinforces related facts.

Science – This will be our last week of weather. We will be doing experiments and having fun with what we’ve learned so far! Stay tuned for pictures.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Mrs. Sharpes
