Dearest Second Grade Families,

It’s already February! This week, we will be busy as ever on the following:

Math: We will continue to make our way through Unit 5 with this week’s focus largely being on the vocabulary and features of three 3D figures. We will learn all about edges, vertices, faces, bases and apexes. For IXL homework this week, please complete the following skills:

U.1 Name the 3D shape

U.3 Count the vertices, edges and faces

U.5 Identify the faces of 3D shapes

Reading: This week’s phonics work will begin with a short study of homophones before making our way into using patterns and rhymes to assist in spelling.

Word Work: We continue to move forward in our groups every week. Please plan for the next spelling test on Friday.

Science: As expected, our grass has grown in the direction of our windows reaching for sunlight and getting taller every day. This week we will conclude our unit on plant adaptations by playing a game (“Where do plants grow best?”) and taking home our experiments.

Religion: This Wednesday afternoon we will meet in the Church at 1:30 for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Please see your e-mail for for further details on this very special day.

Have a great week!

Ms. Espinosa
