Happy New Year!

This week we are reading a biography, Helen Keller.  Our skill will be identifying the author's purpose by looking at text evidence.  In language we are continuing our unit on verbs and will have a unit test on verbs next week.  Our spelling words have the long o sound using -o, -oa, or -ow.

In math this week our measuring focus will turn from inches and feet to yards. 

Second graders will be doing a biography project this month.  The paper work will come home in Wednesday folders tomorrow that will explain the process.  We started talking about biographies today.  They will need to get a biography to read.  They can not get their information from the internet.  The biography can come from home, the public library, the school library, or our classroom library.  Their book must be approved by me no later than January 13th.  Their reading homework this month is to find their biography, read the biography, and work on their project.  Please let me know if you have questions after you receive the information tomorrow.
