2nd Grade

Dear Family Member:

 

For the next two weeks, our class will be focusing on what animals in stories can tell us.  Your child will meet animal characters in many types of stories. 

 

Here are some activities that you can do with your child to help reinforce the skills we'll be practicing.  

 

Word Workout

• Words to Know: suffixes You and your child will take turns making up sentences to tell a story about an imaginary meal you could prepare.

• Spelling/Phonics: short u and long u Play "Match the Sounds" with your child.  Say a word on the list and then have your child find and say another word from the list with the same vowel sound.  Then reverse roles.  This week's phonic sounds include both the long u sound as in use, and the short u  sound as in cup.

 

Comprehension: problem and solution

You will read each problem with your child.  Then you and your child will discuss the possible solutions, and our child will circlue the picture that shows the best solution to the problem.
