News From Mrs. Rowlett

Hi 2nd Grade Families,

Last week was a short week but it was a busy one.  In Language arts we were busy looking at long and short vowel words.  We sorted words into categories and wrote the words.  We have been writing great entries in our Journals and have been working on writing 5 star sentences.  Our Reading Strategy groups are up and running.  Students should be reading 20 minutes each night.  If they finish their nightly assigned reading early they may read any book of their choice.  On most night students will have a reading response sheet/log to complete.  They will only do one page per night not the whole book. Remember students will have reading homework Monday-Thursday.

We will be starting spelling this week.  Words will be introduced on Monday and a list will be sent home in their binder for extra practice at home.  We will be working with these words daily as our Work on Words Daily 5 choice.  We will have a spelling assessment on Fridays.  

Have a great Week!
Mrs. Rowlett
