SPELLING LIST FOR March 8-12.

We are working on words with the "er" sound this week.  Several vowel groups make this same sound (er, ir, ur).  The challenge is to choose the correct spelling for each word.  Luckily all our spelling words have the "er" spelling this week, so concentrate on vowels in the first syllable of the word.  Those are what might give you trouble. 

1. flower

2. water

3. under

4. over

5. better

6. sister

7. brother

8. mother

9. father

10. after

Challenge words:  other   center

Sentence: My mother and father are smart.

Enrichment words: synonym, antonym, rhyme, cause and effect

The second graders learned about several pieces of art (paintings, sculptures, desks) during our four Art Adventure classes in November and December.  Our volunteer teacher, Mrs. Schreier, explained how culture influences the art people create.  We saw examples of ancient art and very contemporary art and placed them on a time line.  The children had very good questions and remembered amazing details.  Why not visit the Minneapolis Art Institute with your child and see these artworks in person?  Your child can guide you!

Tuesday, March 9:  Timed subtraction test (-0, -1, -2, -3, -4) (2 minutes)
