Springtime is always such a fun time in 2nd grade because we move through our learning! The second graders have grown so much this year, and they are so capable of doing so much in-depth work!
Early Release on
Friday:
This Friday, May 15, we have an early release for a teacher in-service
day. Dismissal is at 11:15 AM.
Christian Studies:
This week in Christian
Studies we’ll continue learning about the early church and its origins. We’ll learn about Paul and his missionary
journeys. We’ll discuss how God provided
for him and protected him, and how God used him in ways beyond what Paul could
have imagined. We’ll also learn about
Paul at the Areopagus and how he used the knowledge of the people he was
ministering to in order to relate Jesus to them.
Language Arts:
This week’s phonics concept is kind of tricky.
We’ll be learning about other Bossy R combinations. This includes: /air/ spelled ear and er
(bear), /ar/ spelled ear (heart), /er/ spelled or, ar, ear, our (earth), and
/or/ spelled ar and our (reward). The
words on our spelling test will come from the words that we practice this week
on days 1-3. Our red word for this week
is: different.
In reading we’ll look
at a fable. We’ll look at the
characteristics of a fable and analyze what makes this week’s selection a
fable.
Science:
This week in science we’ll move from solids and liquids into identifying the
best material for a cold pack, which will include analyzing data in two
different categories: coldness and which material can take the shape of your
arm. We’ll then discuss heating wax and
we’ll discuss the vocabulary words “melting” and “freezing.” We’ll then learn about the process of
creating a silver necklace. This will
give us the base knowledge we need for creating a replica of a gemstone.
