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

Our field trip is coming up next Monday.  It costs $2 per child to go to the Willow Park Zoo.  If you have already sent in your child's money, thank you!  If not, we need it as soon as possible so we can get a headcount to the zoo.

Here is what we will be working on this week in English class:
  • reading non-fiction passages and determining what type of map to use to help pull information from the text
  • phonics: decoding skill 1 (if there is just one guardian consonant following a vowel in a multi-syllabic word, the consonant will move on to be with the vowel in the next syllable - "one must run")
  • phonics: common word list 15 - large, must, big, even, such, because, turn, here, why, ask, went, men, read, need, land
  • phonics: the schwa
  • phonics: determiners
  • math: partitioning (cutting into equal parts) and fractions
  • power hour/daily 5: continuing to practice important reading, spelling, and comprehension skills

We hope that everyone had a nice and restful vacation!  It is time to hit the ground running as we prepare for our final descent into third grade.  The next several weeks will be very busy with instruction and assessment.  We know that the weather is nice, and students are yearning to run and play, but it is crucial that they are in school and ready to learn for the next little while.  We appreciate your support in getting them to school each and every day!
