Good Morning! I hope you all had a wonderful 3 day weekend with your family!
This Week In Mrs. R’s Super Stars:
Bible: This week we will learn about Samson
Memory Verse:
Help me to do your will, for you are my God. Lead me in good paths.
Psalm 143:10 (19pts.)
* We have begun writing our Bible verses. The kids will not miss points for words not spelled correctly. In 2nd grade they are required to write their Bible verse rather than recite them by memory. I want to make sure they are prepared for this.
Language Arts: In our reading groups this week we are focusing on reading comprehension and fluency. By using our phonics phones I am having the kids listen to their own voices while they read and focus on reading like we talk. We check for comprehension by asking questions related to the story as well as completing working sheets that go along with each book. We are also looking at the setting as well as who the main characters are. In some of our groups we have been working on comparisons in stories and looking for words such as ‘like’ and ‘as’. For writing we have started on keyword outlines. I am teaching the students how to read a short story or paragraph and pull the most important words from the story and make an outline. Soon we will take our outline and rewrite the story using our own notes.
Math: we are starting a new unit on numbers and patterns to 100. I have completed a preassessment with the class to see what they already know. I am now able to start the unit and get going!!
SocialStudies: We will continue our unit on “All the people.”
