2nd Grade

Dear Family Member:

 

For the next two weeks, our class will be focusing on animals and their homes.  Your child will learn about the different features of animal habitats.

 

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 make up pairs of sentences.  Each pair of sentences will use the same word from the list.

• Spelling/Phonics: soft c and g You will read a spelling word and your child will clap his or her hands if the word contains the soft sound of c as in race, or stamp his or her feet if the word contains the soft sound of g as in edge.  This week's final phonic sounds are c as in race, and g as in edge. 

 

Comprehension: character, setting plot

You and your child will play a game to make up stories about a picture.  Your child will flip a coin.  Head means he or she has to say and write a title for the picture.  Tails means your child will wirte a sentence that describes some details of the picture.
