Grade 2 Room 4

April 15 th - April 19th

Dear Parents,

April is sure going by fast. I can't believe we are already practicing for First Communion.

 RELIGION -  Chapter 19. Go in Peace.  We will be going to the church for Communion Practice . The children will be doing readings, petitions and bringing up the gifts. If your child takes home a reading please practice. That means they would like to be chosen not that they are actually doing the reading yet. 

BIBLE - Judas Betrays Jesus  and the Last Supper.

MATH - Introduce our new math chapter on liquid measuring. Cups, pints, quarts and gallons. 

READING - Chapter 26.   Oswald's Invention

 We have read two sections of Balto and will finish the last section and comprehension questions this week.

 HANDWRITING - We will introduce capital cursive letters of E and O, A and C. 

PHONICS - adding "ing" to words.

SPELLING - Spelling of long "e" words and homophones. 

SPELLING WORDS-table, cable, fable, explain, plain, stain, yesterday, holiday, stay, great, break, steak.

GRAMMAR- Antonyms and synonyms

REMINDERS

This Friday is our last field trip to the Schoolhouse. Your child received their "name" for the day. Please be sure to dress your child in clothes that were worn 100 years ago. The boys can wear their baseball pants as knickers if they have them. Girls can wear a long skirt or dress and apron if they have them . 

Be sure to pack them a bag lunch and drink . They can also bring money to purchase things if they would like.  

We are all looking forward to the 6th grade play at the end of April. 

April 26th is the Communion Retreat in the morning and a 12:00 dismissal . They children  will wear their P.E. uniform to school this day. 

April 29th there will be NO SCHOOL for the students since the teachers have a Professional Day. 

Have a wonderful week. It looks like Spring is finally here. 

Mrs. Lozupone
