Since our last week of school is a 3-day week, this will be our last Fridge Notes of the year. Continue checking the blog, though, for important announcements.
This will also be our last week for Homework. Beginning next Monday, we will take time off to enjoy the end of a truly amazing year!
This week, we will also be working on a Rap-Style Readers’ Theater based on the book Hip Hop Dog by Chris Raschka. As the 2nd grade show proved, our kids are awesome rappers, so this should be a fun activity and a great way to practice our fluency skills, particularly phrasing and reading with expression. We will be recording our rap on Friday, May 30th. To help us get into character, I am asking that each student bring some accessories to wear as part of their costume, such as a baseball cap, sunglasses and/or “bling.” Thanks!
There are no Challenge Spelling Words because we are reviewing previous spelling patterns in preparation for the Unit 6 Benchmark Test.
We now have a whole “Juicy Word of the Week” orange grove covering our bathroom door and we will use this week and next week to review all of the beautiful words we’ve learned. Thank you for all of your support at home with this program. The students have become much more aware of the power of words and it has really enriched their reading, writing and speaking.
