There will be a special writing homework assignment on Tuesday called “Teach the Class.” I am asking the students to write a short paragraph that explains something they would like to teach the class how to do. This mini-project is due Friday, June 3rd and we will spend the last few of days of school learning from each other. Please email me if you have any questions.
Our 2nd Grade End-Of-Year Party will be next Tuesday, June 7th from about 9:30- 11:30 in the 2nd grade hallway. All parents are invited to come help out and celebrate the end of an amazing year! Please email our room parent, Viviana Collazo-Ramirez, to find out how you can help!
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 wonderful year!
This week, we will be working on a rap-style Readers’ Theater based on the book Hip Hop Dog by Chris Raschka. This fun activity is a great way to practice our fluency skills, particularly phrasing and reading with expression. We will be recording our rap on Friday, June 3rd. 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 little “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.
