It was another great week in the 2nd Grade! This week we continued to work on building our independent reading stamina and made it to 19 MINUTES! We are very proud of this accomplish and the steady progress we have been making every day.  In Bible we learned about how God is always with us and will help us if we ask Him so we do not need to be afraid of anything.  We also continued our Math review of number patterns, coins, and addition.  In Writing, we are learning about the different parts of a story.  This week we planned our character, setting, problem, and solution and next week we will work on putting it all together to make a story.

We also had our first Friday Store today.  The students have been collecting their money everyday and had the opportunity to spend it today for some fun classroom coupons.

Next week we will have our normal Spelling and Bible tests, but we will also have our first Math test over Unit 1. I will send home a review sheet as homework during the week and then we will have our test on Friday, September 12th.

Our Spelling words for this week are:
      hidden, grass, hill, stuff, hammer, bless, kitten, ribbon, pizza, cliff, two, Monday

Our Bible Memory Test for this week is:
     "What pleases the LORD more? Burnt offerings and sacrifices, or obeying him? It is better to obey than to offer a sacrifice."  1 Samuel 15:22
