Week 10 2nd/3rd Grade News

La Lectura

This week we introduced a Thanksgiving reader’s theater.  We will use this drama to focus on our reading strategies throughout the month of November.  We will most likely be performing this drama on the last Friday of school before our Thanksgiving vacation begins.  Look for more information coming home soon. (We might ask for parents to contribute to a class feast.)

We have continued to work on:

  • visualizing as a reading strategy
  • summarizing what we have read (ask your child to retell they stories to you, in their own words)
  • identifying main ideas and supporting details
  • identifying cause and effect
  • FLUENCY: covering parts of words to help us pronounce them better, using context clues to help us understand new word meanings, identifying parts of words we know
