2nd Grade eNews

Happy New Year! The students have started off this New Year working hard and we appreciate their focus!

• Bible - We will visit Nehemiah again, using chapters 4-9.
• Verse - Matthew 19:26, "But Jesus looked at them and said, With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
• Reading - We will be reading “Officer Buckle and Gloria” with the target skill of Cause and Effect.
• Spelling - All of our words this week will be compound words:
• cannot   pancake   maybe   baseball   playground   someone   myself   classroom   sunshine   outside   upon   nothing   into   inside  
• Grammar - Abbreviations
• Math - Continue learning more about 3 digit numbers, practice speed of math facts

• January 17 - MLK Chapel (Second graders singing/speeches @ 8:30 a.m. in Worship Center)
• January 21 - No School for MLK Day unless we have to make up any snow days. 

• Please make sure your child brings a coat to school each day this winter. We will try and go outside if at all possible. Please make sure their name is written in their coat.
• If your child is cold in the classroom and wants to wear a jacket or sweatshirt, it must be navy.
• Some children have grown over the holidays, so please make sure that skirts are an appropriate length (must be within two inches of the top of the kneecap) - even if they are wearing leggings underneath.
• Check with your child and see if he/she needs new supplies such as crayons or glue. We have several needing new crayons. ☺
• Flash cards are still the best for memorizing math facts. The students should be able to answer a fact such as 15-8=7 within 4 seconds.
• Please remember that although students are not tardy until after 8:15, we begin with some early work at 8:00.
