Dear parents,
Finally this is working again, thanks to Ms. Olivera, again!! I hope you enjoy finding PHOTOS of your children in action.
SCIENCE: Our class PET created much excitement last week. Cesar found a toad to buy after I ordered a frog. We will observe, draw, read, view video, make booklets,and eat toad eggs!! on FROG and TOAD DAY, on Tuesday, the HALF DAY this week.
READING: Reviewing short vowels sounds, we've read frog books. Ms. McLamb read A Frog in a Bog with them last week as I listened to individual students reading. We have read several books about Froggy, so will try to write our own Froggy story this week.
SPELLING: We are connecting color names to short vowels, and adding number names. Because we are practicing sorting procedures, these words will continue as our spelling words this week. I will give a test on Friday.
BIBLE: The past 2 weeks, students have learned the words to the Disciples' Prayer, Matthew 6: 9-13, in a song. Now we will practice praying as Jesus taught us. This week, we'll learn the 10 P words that describe what God has done, is doing, and will do! These give a framework for the Bible characters we will study all year. Watch for a pink or purple booklet with each P word illustrated to come home later. Ask your child to sing the P Word song.
MATH: After reviewing first grade concepts, students will practice counting on, doubles, and graphing. 5's pages will change to 6's pages, as they practice speed on basic math facts on 90 second quizzes.
RESPECT for God, others and myself is the measuring stick for behavior. I see students are responsive to me, following directions more quickly, and learning to give me their attention when the bell rings or my finger goes up. I enjoy starting the day by shaking each child's hand!
Thank you for your prayerful support of what is happening at ECA and in 2nd grade.
For the children's sake,
Mrs. Glenda Moyer
