Week 8
Homework: GTE p.28-29 (Write a short story about an ANIMAL that includes lots of VERBS and pay attention to the example story on page 28. You can follow this style of writing for your story!)
For the writing lesson, we learned about verbs. Imagine a verb is a special kind of word that shows action or doing! Verbs are the "doing" words in a sentence. They tell you what someone or something is doing.
Here are some examples:
The dog barks loudly.
Which word tells you what the dog is doing?
That's right, barks is the verb!
So, remember: A verb is an action word! It's what's happening! You can usually do a verb!

Here are some examples:
- Jump (like when you jump up and down)
- Run (like when you run outside to play)
- Sing (like when you sing your favorite song)
- Eat (like when you eat your lunch)
- Sleep (like when you sleep in your bed)
The dog barks loudly.
Which word tells you what the dog is doing?
That's right, barks is the verb!

Week 7
Homework: GTE p.13, 21-22 Presentation from the lesson

Week 5
Homework: GTE p.19-20 and 26-27 Presentation from the writing lesson
2E is a bit behind 2C because of the lessons that we missed due to holidays and typhoons 😟 That's OK though - we'll get caught up next week!
Last week, 2C read Red Planet and completed the pages in the GT Book (p.19-20). We'll do this in Friday's lesson with 2E 👍
This week, 2C was also able to learn about the different animal groups, and I assigned the writing homework to them (p.26-27). It was a fun and interesting lesson, and I was impressed with all that the class knew about different animals. You can check the presentation in the link above, and you can also watch the videos from the lesson below 👇
For the writing homework, I want you to focus on writing your sentences in a PARAGRAPH. A paragraph is a group of sentences that are grouped together. These sentences are all about a main idea (the first sentence of the paragraph).

Week 3
Homework: GTE p.6-7 Presentation from the lesson
Today we started learning about the 'pr' consonant blend by reading The Princess and the Pretzel. There is some challenging vocabulary, so you can review it by clicking above or here.
For the homework, you should answer the comrehension questions on p.6 after reading the story. Page 7 is a bit more tricky - you need to use the clues to complete the crossword puzzle (*hint - all of the answers are 'pr' words)
If you look at the presentation from the lesson, you can find a fun easter egg in there 😉

Homework: GTE p.24-45 Presentation from the lesson
In today's lesson, we focused on writing complete sentences. Remember, a complete sentence has a subject and a verb. Let's have a look at the following sentence and highlight the subject and the verb: The dog barks loudly. The subject is the "who" or "what" the sentence is about, and the verb is what the subject is "doing."
We practiced identifying the subjects and verbs in the sentences on GTE p.25, and then I asked the class to draw a picture of their favorite animal and write four complete sentences about it for their homework. Being able to write complete sentences is an important building block for English!

Week 1
Homework: GTE p.2-4 Presentation from the lesson
It's been fun getting to know my Grade 2 classes this week. You've really impressed me with how good you are at English and how well-behaved you have been in class!!!
This week we learned about the /tr/ blend. Remember what a consonant blend is - it's when two consonant letters come together to make a new sound, but you can still hear each letter. And remember, consonants are all of the letters in the alphabet that are not the vowels (AEIOU).
You can find the presentation for this week's lesson here. Just click the link.
And an added bonus - here's the Blooket that we played in class. You can play and revise the /tr/ blend yourself at home! play.blooket.com/play?hwId=68ba85a2bf3fd5a8c834f6bc
Have a wonderful weekend and I will see all of you next week!
