Second Grade News

September 26-October 4

Parents,

This is the format for my newsletters.  It mainly deals with words your child needs to learn to read, spell and understand.  I ask that you post this in a handy and visible spot where your child can use it when you practice words at home.

Reading:  Our genre is fiction.  We will be reading a variety of fiction stories and learning that a fiction story has made up character and events.  Fiction also has a beginning, middle, and end.

Spelling:  Consonant blends.  Our spelling test will be on Tuesday, October 4.

Sight Words:  By the end of the week your child should be able read these words quickly and easily.  Please post this letter in a handy spot (on the fridge, etc.) and have your child practice reading through these words a couple of times each day.
