Our First Full Week of School!

Hello Families!
Welcome to our new 2017-2018 school year!  This is our second grade newsletter!  Each week this newsletter will be updated, so that you may stay up to date as to what will be transpiring both in the second grade classroom and right here at Annunciation Catholic School.  

In the second grade, it is critical to foster organizational skills.  In order to assist the students in becoming organized learners, every content area will be color coded.  Each subject will have the following designated colors:

Language Arts ~ Purple
Religion ~ Pink
Math ~ Black
Social Studies ~ Blue
Science ~ Green

 This color coding system will also be utilized in the weekly newsletter to effectively communicate what learning will be taking place in each subject area for the week.

Language Arts
Spelling ~ Short Vowels a, i
Grammar ~ Subjects and Predicates
Writing ~ Narrative Writing (In class, the students will also be learning about the different types of sentences.)
Target Skill ~ Sequence of Events, Infer/Predict
