This week we’ll start to settle into our normal routine. We have our first full week next week, and then we should be settled in pretty well!
Christian
Studies:
This week in Christian Studies we get to learn about the beginning of the
world. In 2nd grade, we go
through our Bible stories in chronological order, so we’ll start with Creation
and the fall into sin (with the promise of a Savior).
Math:
This week in math we’ll start to develop fluency in addition and subtraction. This will be something we work on throughout
the year. This week we’ll work on strategies, like using doubles facts to add,
as well as using other mental strategies to become quicker and more fluent.
Language
Arts:
Our phonics/spelling concept this week is contractions. We’ll practice some words throughout the week
using this concept, then we’ll take a practice test on Thursday and our
spelling test on Friday. Rather than a
traditional spelling test, where students memorize the spellings of set words
and test at the end of the week, our spelling program focuses on mastering
spelling concepts. This indicates a deeper
understanding of the rules of the English language, which will help students in
both reading and spelling.
We’ll also start our language arts reading comprehension, beginning with realistic fiction. We’ll talk about the characteristics of realistic fiction, and we’ll do a close reading of a text to actively read and answer questions as we go.
