Reading - This week we'll read and compare 2 selections, Owls and Owl Moon. One is realistic fiction, the other a nonfiction story. We will discuss point of view and retelling. At the end of the week we will be dissecting owl pellets!
Grammar focus will be on abbreviations.
Literature Circles - All 2nd graders have been learning about literature circles this month. We've started implementing them into our reading block. Follow the link below for more information. The students have done a great job practicing the roles and learning to read with purpose!
