This Week: Jellies

This week in Grade 2 we will be doing the usual, practicing grammar, vocabulary, spelling, reading, and writing. Our story for this week in Journeys is Jellies. Jellies is a nonfiction book about some of the many kinds of jellyfish that live in the sea. While reading Jellies, we will again be looking at the importance of main ideas and details getting ready for writing our own multi-paragraph informative compositions. At the end of the week students will finally be learning to write research reports and choosing their topics for their research reports that they will be working on next week. Next week will be a hard week of writing for the class. Below is the weekly handout sheet and vocabulary slideshow for this week. We will have a spelling test at the end of the week. Please remind your child to study the spelling words and help them review the vocabulary as well.
