School's in Session (at HOME!)

Good Day, 2nd Graders!

I hope you are staying warm. Even though we are unable to meet at Somerset today, that doesn't mean that we can't exercise our brains and learn a bit! Here are some homework assignments that I would like you to complete at home.


Yes...I said homework. :-) I'll be looking forward to hearing all about what you learned on Tuesday!


SPELLING:


This week, we will be studying comparative endings. Take a look at a little video I made to learn one new rule about comparative endings:


 


  • Tell someone about the short vowel rule for comparative endings.
  • Can you figure out a new rule? What happens when a root word ends in Y?
  •  Complete spelling homework as usual and reward yourself with a game!(Click HERE to play!)


WRITING:


Finish this sentence (in your BEST handwriting) and underline the verb(s):
  • Today, I ...
READING:

Read for at least 20 minutes and answer these questions. Tell your answers to someone at home:
  • If it is a narrative (fiction) book:
    • What is the theme of the book you chose? (acceptance, friendship, honesty, responsibility. perseverance, courage...)
    • Why do you think that? Give at least one reason.
  • If it is an informational book (non-fiction):
    • What is this book mostly about? (Main idea)
    • What details are important to the main idea of the text?
MATH:

Practice subtraction with these online games:


Way to go, 2nd graders!

I can't wait to see you back at Somerset! Until then, STAY WARM! :-)

-Mrs. B.
