WORD WORK: This week our second graders will be learning words that are open syllables.  This includes words like; be, by, me, and cry. Students will bring home a poem on Thursday nights which use our syllable pattern words and other high-frequency words being practiced in our whole group learning time. Please have your child read the poem to you or share the poem with your child and discuss the words and meaning as part of  your nightly reading. 

WELCOME MISS MAEVE: We will have a highschool cadet in our classroom this year on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoon. Her name is Maeve and she is a senior at St. Joseph. It is a real privilege for me because once upon a time she was a 2nd grader in my room. Maeve will be helping us during our Language Arts Bear time. Let me know if you have any questions.
