Second Grade News
Jan. 20-24
Memory: This week’s memory will continue from Part 1 on Baptism in Luther’s Small Catechism. I will ask them the question (in Italics) and they will need to respond with the answer.
Due Tuesday: Practice Wednesday’s memory
Due Wednesday: What is so special about the water of Baptism?
“It is nothing other than a divine water. Not that the water in itself is nobler than other water, but that God’s Word and command are added to it”
Due Thursday: Who instituted Holy Baptism?
God Himself instituted Baptism, for our Lord Jesus Christ commanded His church to baptize all nations.
Due Friday: No memory
Religion: We will have a test over Unit 5 on Friday. Books will be sent home Wednesday and Thursday. Please send books back for our review on Thursday.
Language Arts: This week we will be reading a poem called Weather Wise. We will have a test over the skills that go along with our story on Friday. I am also going to include a list of our weekly high-frequency words and vocabulary words. We will be going over these words in class several times during the week. Your child should be able to read all of the high-frequency words and know the meanings of the vocabulary words. They should be able to use the vocabulary word in a sentence, tell what it means, or act it out. The vocabulary words will be in a section of our reading test, and I will have them read the high-frequency words to me on Friday (for a grade).
* Students will be able to take AR tests Monday, Wednesday, and Friday this week.
High-Frequency Words: body, color, dark, hard, hour, large, part, started, warm, was
Vocabulary words: covers, creep, dimmer, drain, glide, hemisphere, produce, rumble, shimmering, slather, slithering, splatter, squirm, substance
Spelling: This week’s words are r-controlled vowel (ar) and review words. We will be doing activities in class to practice our words, but you will also need to practice at home.
Our Spelling Test will be on Friday.
