The following words are new to our second graders.
man, too, any, day, same
We will make a connection of the part -an in any and man.
We will make the connection of -oo in too.
We will make a connection of -ay in day.
We will make a connection of -ame in same.
I will give them see, happy, eat and eve on the board.  We will work on these more next week.  I wanted them to see a connection.
The other words are review.  They should have learned to read and spell them in K and 1st grade.  I hope this helps since there are so many words.  Let me know if you have any questions.

We are taking donations to help a former student named Belle Kelm.  They are also selling spirit ribbons this week.
