*We have homework approximatley once a week in second grade, possibly more if a student has late work. Please watch your child's backpack for homework assignments such as Spelling and the Phonic Library Story! Reading homework will be a Phonic library story and a homework sheet each week. The phonic library story will need to be returned within two days. Unfinished daily work will also be homework when not finished at school. *This year Second Grade homework will also consist of practicing the weekly spelling words. The practice tests are on Monday and Wednesday, and the final test is on Friday. Watch for your child's Spelling List and practice tests so you can review these words with your child. The current spelling list is always listed on this page. NEED HELP TO STUDY THE WORDS: SpellingCity.com is a website that helps students learn their weekly spelling words while having fun at the same time. I will add our weekly spelling lists on SpellingCity and your child can review the words, and play spelling games with their words to reinforce the learning process. You can find our class list by simply clicking on "Find a List" and typing in my name - Gorrell. The lists will appear and your child can immediately start using it to practice his or her words. Please have your child study each night during the week to improve their spelling. You will need to search under "List Name" and put in the following information: Example: Gorrell SPELLING WORDS FOR UPCOMING WEEKS !
