Phonics and Reading Updates

The 2nd graders are doing a great job with our new phonics unit! They are busy revisiting some of the things they learned in kindergarten and first grade (digraphs, vowels, consonants, etc.) with our "Phonics Professor Words" Guide. They have been busy identifying these words in books and around our room. 
They have also learned our new "2nd Grade Chant" to help us get excited about phonics. 
We reviewed our long and short vowels today. We even got a phone call about remembering to include a silent "e" on the ends of our words with long vowels! Be sure to ask your 2nd grader for more details on this at home. :) 
We are also reviewing our digraphs

In reading, the 2nd graders are learning about nonfiction/informative books! Today, we learned about looking for more information and details in our stories. We examined pennies closely and talked about all of the details hat might not have noticed before.
