Word Sorts

Daily practice of lessons is critical to your child’s academic success. Children need to be completing their homework daily. All of the spelling (word work) assignments are the same weekly, only the word lists change. The new words can be found here on the blog on Monday. Your child’s Word Sorts are specific to their learning needs.

 Refer to the list below to know what sort they are to study for the week. Tests will be passed back on Mondays.

SPELLING LIST: 8 WORDS THIS WEEK!!!

old, red, however, ever, paper, thought, something, seen

Here are some fun ideas to practice your spelling words each night.

• Typing spelling lists on the computer is very motivating. Use the computer to write sentences for each spelling words.  It’s a great way to teach word processing skills.
• Invest in a set of letter stampers and let your child stamp out their spelling words.
• Give your child a Scrabble board.  Let them take the letters out of the bag, lay them on the table face-up, and try to fit all of their spelling words on the board.
• Collage- cut individual letter from magazines to spell out your words.
• Get a set of magnetic letters.  (You can find them cheap at garage sales.)  Give your child letters, a spelling list, and a timer.  See if they can complete it in 1-3 minutes.

• Create a Wordle using your spelling words (Use the 5 High frequency words for this week)

Go to wordle.net, Have your child type in all of their spelling words and print off a cool wordle!

• Go to SpellingCity.com and practice your spelling words, practice tests and play games. The username is your first and last name squished together with the #1 after it, The password is rams. example:johnsmith1 Accounts are set up!

Your 2nd grader may have been at home taking surveys…we have been learning all about them here at school. We have learned how to collect data by conducting surveys. I have encouraged them to take a survey at home, then bring it in to show me for a reward. 

Now that they have collected the data (using tally marks) I want them to create a Pictograph. They have practiced these here at school as well. At home, they need to take the data they collected and create a pictograph and it bring back to school to show me for a reward! 

Happy graph-making!

Thank you to those that have signed up for conferences! I have the majority of you signed up. If you have not had a chance to look at the schedule please follow the link below to sign up! Thanks, I look forward to meeting with you all!

Way to go Winter and TJ! They both passed off subtraction and are now moving on to MULTIPLICATION! Way to go little smarties!

Our Valentines Day celebration is on Friday! We will have a fun party in the morning. Students will, but are not required to, pass out little valentines to each other in the afternoon. Students have already made their Valentines carrier here in class. If students brings valentines for each other, please be sure to bring one for EACH STUDENT (26 kids). NO CANDY is allowed as part of the valentines. The permission slips sent home are for a candy from the parent party planners.

This is also a DOLLAR DRESS DOWN DAY. Please bring a dollar if your child dresses down. Students that dress down without paying will be asked to call home for a dollar, or a change of School uniform clothes. We are looking forward to a fun day! I CANT BELIEVE it is already Valentines Day!
