Sign-Ups:
Next Week in 2B...
Poetry: We will recite Merry Autumn Days in class next week. Please help your child practice at home this weekend.
Literature: We will read Chapters 5 & 6 of The Boxcar Children and have a nice discussion about what treasure means to us. We are also working on reading the scripts from each chapter which has been a lot fun! The kids love being actors :-).
Spalding: 20 words only next week due to no school Friday (Spelling test will be Thursday)
Monday: goes, does, Tuesday, hold, drill, army, pretty, stole, income, bought
Tuesday: paid, laid, said, enter, railroad, unable, ticket, account, driven, real
Writing: Students are practicing how to answer questions in a complete sentence, restating the question in their answer. We will read and narrate (with complete sentences) an excerpt from The Borrowers by Mary Norton.
Grammar: Be sure to ask your child about our SKILL CHECK! "Period, statement, declarative sentence" and "Go back to the verb - divide - the complete subject from the complete predicate" What does it mean? - we hope they can share their new grammar knowledge with you :-) Next week we will continue classifying sentences by using our Question and Answer Flow and we will review singular and plural nouns. We will learn how to revise our builder sentences, too.
Math: We are going to continue with multiplication this week and then jump right into division beginning on Tuesday!
Science: The Water Cycle unit will continue through studying different types of clouds, run off, and groundwater. Can you help us with Science next week by donating cotton balls and/or blue food coloring? Please e-mail me if you're able to. We'd be so appreciative!
History: We are continuing our study of China by discussing the importance of ancestors to Chinese people and how they are honored. You can talk with your children at home about their own ancestors and ways that you might honor them (cooking your great-grandmothers cookie recipe or talking about memories you have of them). We will also take a trip to The Great Wall of China! Your children will learn what a great feat it was to build the wall and they will be able to discuss the reasons it was built.
