Week 7
Dear 2nd Grade Parents,
Curriculum for this week:
 Religion: Begin Unit 2, The Promised Land, as the Israelites
wander in the wilderness; hear how God gave Moses the Ten
Commandments and see how they still apply to us today.
 Reading: Finish our Henry and Mudge and the Starry Night
unit by reviewing characterization, enjoying reading groups,
discovering what constellations are and inventing our own. I
could use 1-2 parent volunteers for Reading groups on
Friday, 9/30, from 10:30-11:30.
 Spelling: Finish Unit 2 by practicing spelling surprise words
and taking our tests.
 Phonics: Practice finding and reading words with consonant
blends.
 Grammar: Review identifying the predicate of a sentence.
 Writing: Begin our Unit on Writer’s Voice.
 Math: Begin Chapter 2, 2-digit place value, as we practice
making numbers with tens and ones and looking at different
ways to show the same number by writing numbers in word
form and expanded form.
 Science: Transition from our nutrition unit to our
prairie/grassland habitat unit as we see how we can use food
scraps to help the soil; learn about earthworms and
introduce the worm compost bin to our classroom.
 Second Step: Continue Unit 1 on Skills for Learning as we
learn how to be assertive.
 Handwriting: Begin our Handwriting Without Tears
curriculum!
 Meet and get to know our 7th grade classroom buddies!
Let’s have a blessed week in Christ!
