Hello 2B Families,
I want to express my appreciation for all the gifts and cards I received for you at the end of last quarter. I am blown away by your generosity and gratitude; I was absolutely showered by tokens of your esteem! I am blessed to be in association with you!

I hope you and yours had lovely and restful holidays.

Here is our week:

MATHEMATICS
Welcome back! We are jumpstarting right into Unit 7, focusing on strategies for adding and subtracting more complex problems. Please continue to practice math fluency in these two areas with your child. This can range from XTra Math at home, flashcards, or even a quick math fact quiz in the car!

HW
Monday: WB Exercise 1, Pg. 7-8
Tuesday: WB Exercise 2, Pg. 9-10
Wednesday: 7.1 B Test Worksheet
Thursday: WB Exercise 3, Pg. 11-12
Friday: Practice Subtraction Facts 1-10 (flashcards)

POETRY
"Smart" is a lovely poem by Shel Silverstein. Second grade scholars will work hard at memorizing the entire poem over the course of the next five weeks. However, slow and steady wins the race! We will be focusing on one stanza each week. This week we memorize stanza one. Help your child make sure he or she is confident enough to recite it by the end of this week!

LITERATURE
We begin Little House in the Big Woods. If you haven't already, please send in your child's copy. Scholars will be creating a lap-book as they study this literary classic. It will be a record of the reading activities they complete as they work to build their vocabulary and comprehension. Scholars will be reading the first chapter this week.

SPELLING
We have 30 spelling words this week. Please see the breakdown below.
Monday: need, thus, woman, women, young, fair, fare, dollar, evening, plan
Tuesday: broke, feel, sure, sugar, least, sorry, press, God, god, teacher
Wednesday: November, subject, April, history, study, himself, matter, use, thought, person
Thursday: need-person

GRAMMAR
Scholars add two more jingles to their repertoire this week as they learn about prepositions and objects of prepositions. We learn to classify prepositions and objects of prepositions in sentences.

WRITING
This week we look at a few exemplary sentences from Little House in the Big Woods. We will continue to work on our copywork and dictation skills with these sentences. Then, we will summarize passages from our reading. 

Have a great week!
Mrs. Dill
