May 11-15


We had a great time on our field trip today! The weather was perfect for a visit to the Willow Park Zoo, and the Mariachi Divas were awesome!  Click on the video to see second graders on stage having fun with the Divas.


Here is what we will be doing with the rest of our week in English class:
  • reading informational text and making thinking maps related to the information in the text
  • phonics: determiners
  • phonics: y sounds (again)
  • phonics: decoding skill #2 (if there are two guardian consonants following a vowel in the middle of a multi-syllabic word, the consonants split to make a syllable break)
  • end-of-year assessments: DIBELS testing (Friday), addition and subtraction math facts (goal-121 in 5 minutes), core phonics for students that are below grade-level on DIBELS testing, 107 Zeno words for students that below grade-level on DIBELS testing, and spelling inventory
  • Daily 5/Power Hour - continuing to practice the skills necessary to become better readers, spellers, and comprehenders
  • math: measurement
