It was an exciting week in 2nd grade with many new things happening! In Reading we were able to reach our goal of 20 minutes of independent reading for three days in a row!! We are excited to add another aspect of reading next week for the first time.  In Writing we learned how to write a good beginning and ending to our stories and also about the writing process.  We reviewed the parts of a sentence and had lots of fun creating funny sentences.

In Bible we learned about King Saul and King David.  Through our memory verse, we learned that what God wants most of all from us is obedience to the commands that He has given us.  This week we also had our very first Math test! Next week we will be starting Unit 2.

The Spelling words for next week are:
smoke, quick, backpack, hike, clock, lake, strike, backstroke, check, ticket, friend, baseball

Our Bible Memory Verse for next week is:
"Lord, you are good. You are forgiving. You are full of love for all who call out to you." Psalm 86:5

Have a wonderful weekend!
