Hello Second Grade Families,
We got right back into the routine of reading groups last week. It is fun to see what 2nd graders are able to read compared to 1st graders and the students are pretty excited with the new books they are being asked to read each day. Please remember to support your child’s learning by having them complete their reading homework daily. Often times students will be rereading what they read together with me in class. They will have a paper to fill out comprehension questions or other reading related activities each night. Students who do not complete their reading nightly will need to attend study hall during their P.E. or specials class time (which is currently Art) and it will impact their “work ethic” grade on their report card.
The kids continued reviewing closed syllables and open syllables and began learning about vowel-consonant-e syllables. They practiced sorting a variety of words that fit are these syllable types. This week we will begin to look at multisyllabic words and identifying these syllable types in each syllable of the words. This knowledge will help students be able to better read longer words independently.
Happy reading,
Mrs. Rowlett
