Next week we will:

 

Fundations- We will work on suffixes, review all our our "Word of the Day" words, and continue learning y as a vowel (like in baby and cry). We will use dry erase boards to have a contest to build words from the letters in Merry Christmas!

 

Wit and Wisdom (Language Arts/Writing): We will write a sample paragraph with pulling key points from a topic and putting them together with a Topic Sentence, 2-3 details/points and a conclusion statement. We continue to use "juicy" words (adjectives) to make our writing more interesting to the reader.

We will read plenty of Christmas stories and discuss them/do activities. We will also participate in Christmas Around the World with the other 2nd grade and 1st graders.

 

Math: We will continue to explore Geometry with 2D shapes-composing and decomposing them. EX: show how many ways can you build a hexagon with other shapes.

 

Religion: We are working through the first 2 chapters of our Reconciliation books. We are learning about God's story-creation, We are part of His family, the importance of our friend/relationship with Him and reviewing the Sign of the Cross. We will focus on what we can 'give' to the Lord this Advent-acts of kindness, building op others and "padding' the manger for Jesus by secretly complimenting others.
