It was nice to see so many of you at our virtual Back To School Night. I know a few of you mentioned that you are still waiting for your clear contact to be delivered. I just ask that if at all possible, by the end of September all books be covered with clear contact. Also, just a reminder to send in your 5 stamps so that we can get started writing to our homebound parishioners. We become prayer partners with them. They pray for the second grade as they prepare for the sacraments this year and we pray for them each day at school. Thanks to those who have already sent in the stamps.
This week:
Religion: This week we will learn that we are all disciples of Jesus and that the twelve men he choose were called apostles. We will discuss Pentecost, which is the birthday of the Church and how Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to help us and to help the Church grow. We will have a test on chapter 2 on Friday.
Math: We will subtract numbers using the count back strategy, solve and write related subtraction facts, solve and write addition and subtraction facts, use addition to check subtraction and practice solving word problems.
Language Arts: In LA we will be reading the story Spoon and will continue to identify features of a fantasy. We will also discuss why an author writes, is it to entertain, to inform or to persuade. Later in the week we will learn the characteristics of a biography as we listen to the William Hoy Story. In grammar we will continue to work on writing complete sentences, identifying run on sentences and identifying subject and predicate. Our spelling words this week have the short o, u or e sound in them. We will have a spelling test on Friday. Spelling words can be found in the planner as well as in our LA notebook. Our weekly power words are also in the LA notebook.
Social Studies: We will continue to study about the Native Americans and how they helped both the Spanish settlers and the Pilgrims. The Spanish settlers came to Florida in the 1500's and the Pilgrims came from England and settled in Plymouth. We will have a lesson 2 test on Thurday.
Have a wonderful week! God bless you.
What a wonderful week we had in 2B. We spent time learning routines and procedures as well as enjoyed being together again at SFCS! We learned and read about the importance of kindness. We read Chrysanthemum, The Potatoe Chip Champ and The Jelly Donut Difference while completing activities highlighting ways we can be kind. We also wrote about "The Kindest Thing Someone Has Ever Done For Me." This writing will be hanging up in our classroom.
Our virtual Back To School Night is Wednesday, September 16th. The link for this Zoom meeting will be put on Google Classroom on Monday.
Religion: This week we learned about the Holy Family, The Blessed Trinity, that Jesus is human and Divine and that He taught us the Our Father. We will have our first Religion test this Wednesday.
Math: We spent time reviewing basic facts, and finding the missing addend. This week we will use the doubles strategy, the doubles plus one and doubles minus one to find the sum. We will also learn to add a column of numbers.
LA: In LA we learned that a sentence has a subject and a predicate. (a naming part and a telling part)
We also discussed story elements that include character, setting and plot. This week we will begin writing about how we can be a Super Second Grader this year. We will have our first spelling test on Friday. The words can be found in the homework planner.
Social Studies: We have been learning about life long ago and how it is different today. We will have a test on Lesson 1 on Tuesday. We will then move on to study the Native Americans, Spanish Settlers and the Pilgrims.
I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the week end. I look forward to seeing you on Zoom Wednesday. Thank you for choosing Saint Francis Cathedral School. God bless you.
Welcome to 2B! I have been busy getting the classroom ready and can't wait to meet all of you on Wednesday. I know this year is going to be a bit different for all of us but, I also know that it will be a GREAT one!
The cost for second grade school supplies this year is $16.00 or $31.50 if your child needs a seat sack. Please make all checks payable to SFCS (no cash) and include your child's name and class on the memo portion of the check. If your child is virtual, the check can be mailed to the school.
Children who are virtual received their Google Classroom codes when their books were picked up. The Zoom link will be posted on Google Classroom Tuesday, September 1st. Children who are in school will be receiving Google Classroom codes on the first day of school. Please have your child sign in to all his/her Google Classes by September 6th.
Each day the children will bring home 2 workbooks that will need to be covered in clear contact paper. If you are unable to cover them that night, please send the books back to school the next day since we will be using them.
Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! God bless.
