Week 3

 This is our first full week of school, and if your family was anything like mine, it was hard to get moving on Monday morning!  We’ll settle into the year and build our stamina.  Until then, early bedtimes might be a good idea.

MAP Testing:
2nd grade is MAP testing this week!  We’re MAP testing first thing in the morning on Tuesday, September 10 and Thursday, September 12.  There’s more information on Seesaw, so make sure to check that out!

Christian Studies:
This week in Christian Studies, we’ll be learning about the flood and relating that to God’s salvation for us.  We’ll also be learning about Sodom and Gomorrah, which focuses heavily on following God’s rules and the consequences of going against God.  We’ll discuss God’s forgiveness for our own sins, too.

Math:
This week in math we’ll continue our module on addition, relating addition to subtraction on Monday.  We’ll also be working with mental strategies to add and subtract with fluency.  We’ll finish the week with the strategy of using a tens fact to subtract.

Language Arts:
This week in spelling we’ll be working with three-consonant blends.  Look for a note going home on Monday with some information explaining the concept.

We’ll also be looking at the characteristics of realistic fiction.  We’ll read our text selection this week, and we’ll also analyze the setting of the story.
