Week 22

We’re heading in to a full week of school!  Here’s what to expect:

Stuffed Animal and Movie Day!
The 2nd graders will be watching The Lion King (2019 version) on Thursday afternoon!  For the movie, they can bring a stuffed animal (standard-size or smaller, please) to have on their desk.  If they’d like to bring an extra snack for the movie, they can bring that in their lunchbox that day.

Christian Studies:
This week in Christian Studies we’ll be learning about the start of Jesus’ ministry.  We’ll discuss how He called His disciples, and we’ll talk about Him healing a man at the pool.

Math:
This week in math we’ll finish off our module on taking apart (“decomposing”) numbers to help us add and subtract more fluently.  We’ll then start two-digit addition and subtraction.  We won’t finish this module before our long LEST break, so we’ll do some review when we get back and make sure we get some extra practice in before we move on after LEST.

Language Arts:
This week we’ll be reviewing spelling concepts we’ve learned over the last several weeks.  Those patterns are: the 3 Great Rules (doubling, change, and drop), Consonant-le endings, Kind Old Words, and the Bossy R concept for or and ar.  The practice test will have the same 10 concept words as the test on Friday, so they will be able to get some good practice in.

Science:
We planted some radishes last week and they’ve popped up quickly!  This week we’ll be observing the parts of that plant.  We’ll also be discussing the fruit and pollen in plants and what purposes they serve for the plant.  We’ll start to discuss how animals can help plants.
