The Sahley Sun
Mrs. Sahley’s 2nd Grade News
Week of October 12th
Learning Targets this Week:
News: just completed math and reading Ca’s. Friday folders will go
home this Friday. Remember no reading logs being sent home to
conserve paper copies.
The 6 Minute Solution (Fluency Program)
I will be starting this program this week where
students show growth as they read, check, and
chart their progress. Students are excited to
see how their bar graphs climb across the page
with each read. It is a great way to build
reading fluency and comprehension.
Literacy: Last week students learned about Character Traits with Frog and
Toad and created Venn Diagrams. We also looked at improving our reading
stamina by focusing on read to self and we are working on work on writing in
class for Daily 5. This week we will be looking at the story STELLALUNA and
focusing on comprehension, vocabulary and writing with bats! They are
reading poems and creating portfolios on the ipads with their work on
Seasaw. Please continue reading every night and spending 10 minutes on
Moby Max.
October 16th is DICTIONARY DAY and we will be celebrating its birthday with dictionary
fun!!!!
Math: We are starting TIME!!!!! Please talk about the clock at home especially if you
are going places. Use vocabulary like quarter to, half past, and how long you were at
places(elapsed time)
Writing: I can write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or
events using effective technique, descriptive details, and clear event
sequences.
We are going to write about living in a haunted house and pumpkin using
adjectives!
Science: Focusing on Sound! We will have guest speakers coming in to talk
about sound. Mrs. Flittner, our speech and language pathologist and Mrs.
Dash, hearing impaired teacher will be visiting.
Letterland: Gentle Ginger and Dippy Duck. Normally Golden Girl
makes the sound /g/. In this unit, students will learn the soft
sound of g when followed by e. The Blue Magic that Mr. E
invented at Golden Girl’s request to spotlight her good friend
Gentle Ginger the Gymnast in words such at stage and huge. This
soft sound sounds like Jumping Jim’s sound which is /j/. We will
learn about the concept of silent d in words like badge, fudge, and
judge. Dippy Duck is sitting there quietly, watching Gentle
Ginger perform and protecting the vowels from Vowel Stealing
Robots.
FITNESS FUN RUN:
Many thanks to everyone for supporting LES with this fundraising event.
