Dear Second Grade Parents,

It was great to see everyone who attended Back-To-School.  This week will be four full days with Friday being a minimum day.

Reminders:

Thursday:  Students return their two books since we have our library day on Thursday’s.

Friday is Minimum Day!

Our Academic Week:

Homework:  This week we will continue with studying for spelling words unit 2.  Please allow approximately 10 minutes daily to study for spelling words.  Visit spellingcity.com to practice words.

This week we will be adding IXL and Reading Log. I sent a copy of the reading log for this week only.  You will have to print out your own reading log weekly.

Students must work on second grade section A.1 and A.2 for 20 minutes or more a week.  If your child finishes the section before the 20 minutes please have them work on the following P.1 and P.2 of second grade.  If your child does not complete the 20 minutes, they will not get credit for homework.

All homework is due on Monday.  I check IXL on Sunday evenings since all homework is due on Monday.

Religion: We will finish our Family Life, Unit 1 :  God’s Gift of Family; God’s plan and Rules and choices

English Language Arts: More short vowels in spelling and phonics, identifying a sentence, reading for comprehension, fluency and homophones.
