Library Table

Let's do it again! Please bring back the books that you borrowed if you are finished with them. (If you are not finished with them, hang on to them and bring them next time.) You can put them back on the table and choose something new! Of course, it would be great if you could bring some more books to share, too. See you at the table on Saturday!!

Vocabulary Homework

Hi everybody --

We've been having some trouble with people losing their vocabulary worksheets, so we're going to try a new system!! You all have lovely new notebooks, so I think you can do your homework in there. Every week I will post 2 lists of words, one for group "A" (Let's call that Richie's group) and one for group "B" (Let's call that Kyle's group). If you don't know what group you're in, talk to me.
Look at the list of words and, in your notebook, put them in alphabetical order and write each of them 3 times, like this:
bear bear bear
duck duck duck
juice juice juice
etc.

Then, choose 4 words to look up in the dictionary. Write the meanings of those 4 words like this:
bear: a big, furry mammal that sleeps all winter
duck: a funny looking bird with a big beak
etc.

Finally, choose 2 of your dictionary words and use each in a sentence like this:
I wish I were a bear so I could eat lots of honey and sleep all winter.

I'm not sure, but maybe in the past Group B didn't have to do the dictionary step, but I think you guys are ready to do that, too. Give it a shot!

Here are this week's words:

Group A (Richie's group)

chapter
length
wrist
costume
hundred
piece
certain


Group B (Kyle's group)

never
wrong
flag
thumb
know
coin
write

Book Report Homework

Hi everyone:

It was fun to see what books everyone chose last week at the "Library Table". Sophie and Maya are enjoying the books they borrowed -- how about you guys? I am going to ask you to do a book report for your homework, since we haven't done one in a while. Ask your Mom and Dad to help you choose the best one for you to do. Click here to go to the website where I found the book report forms. Ask Mom and Dad to look at the 2nd Grade Book reports and choose the best one for your level. (As a guideline, Moms and Dads, I'm going to ask Sophie to do Grade 2, book report #4). Don't bother to print out the book report form, just do the work directly in your notebooks. Don't forget the picture!!

Please bring your reports to class on Saturday to share.

See you then!
Christie
