Starting our week off right with a little yoga!
T-Shirt Book Report
We will be completing a T-shirt book report in school! If possible, children are asked to bring in a plain, white or light colored t-shirt that they can decorate for this very special project! We will be decorating on Friday, June 9th so if children could bring in their shirts before then that would be fantastic! We are also looking for donations of Sharpies or fabric markers that we could use for this activity! Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions! Thank you so much in advance for your help with this exciting project!
Literacy
This week in Literacy we will be reading our final story of the year, Jingle Dancer by Cynthia Leitich Smith. Through reading this story we will discuss the weekly question, “What are some different ways that people celebrate?” This week we will also be reviewing the genre of Realistic Fiction and will be reading and spelling words with prefixes mis- and mid-. We will practice applying the comprehension strategies of using context clues and prior knowledge as well as explore the comprehension skill of determining character, setting and plot. We will take our final spelling test of the year on Friday.
Miss Verbic and I had so much fun eating lunch in the classroom with a few friends who bought "Lunch in the classroom coupons" during our last classroom store!
Math
This week we will continue to review some of the trickier second grade math skills, participate in problem solving activities and preview some of the concepts that the children will learn in third grade!
We had so much fun this week using the comprehension skill of drawing conclusions to figure out who the culprit was in, "The Case of the Missing Mascot" activity! Ask your child who the correct culprit was and if they were able to draw the correct conclusion to figure it out!
