PH 2nd Grade eNews

We have had a great week - we hope you have too! We love November!

• Bible - We will continue our study of David. This week our story will come from 1st Chronicles 15 and 16. 
• Memory Verse - Psalm 105:1 “Give thanks to Yahweh, call on His name. Proclaim His deeds among the people.”
• Reading - We will have a story called “Click Clack Moo, Cows that Type.” We will begin working on the skill “Main Idea.”
• Spelling - Our skill this week will be adding the suffix ing. One rule for adding ing is that you add ing to one-syllable words with one vowel and two consonants after the vowel. Here are some examples: jumping   standing   fishing  planting
• A second rule for adding ing is that when you add ing to one-syllable words with one vowel and one consonant after the vowel, you need to double the consonant before adding ing. Here are some examples: running   cutting   swimming   winning
• THERE IS AN EXCEPTION! NEVER DOUBLE THE FINAL LETTERS W, X, AND Y: Here are some examples:  box….boxing    snow….snowing   play….playing
• Grammar - We will work on Past, Present, and Future tense verbs in a sentence. Here is an example of each: John walked to school yesterday. John walks to school. John will walk to school tomorrow.
