This is going to be a hard working week for 2nd grade. Our spelling words cover the prefix 're'. This doesn't sound too challenging, but the base words do not follow a vowel pattern and many of them are 'cheater' words. I reminded the class several times that they need to be sure to practice during our Daily 5 (aka LA small group rotations) time.
During writing, we drew sea animals to research and began the researching process. Some kiddos flew through their notes page and are nearly done, while other struggled to understand how to find information. I've sent a copy of our research page home. You are welcome to help your child find facts. We won't begin our rough drafts until Thursday.
Our third challenge for the week is during math. We began working on telling time. Again, some students have it down, while others are working to understand the difference between hour and minute hands. To help better meet the needs of students, I'll divide the class into small groups. The groups will rotate to different activities, adjusted to fit their current knowledge.
