Reading is an extremely important part of our day in second grade. We will be reading in a whole group, partnerships, and small group activities pertaining to your child's reading level. I believe it is important for students to be aware of their reading level so they can choose appropriate "just right" books. This will make them become stronger readers!
Writing Workshop
In second grade, we will be working on becoming strong writers! We will be writing a variety of different pieces of writing over the course of the year. There will also be many opportunities to use our imagination in creative writing activities.
Math
Math is fun in our classroom! This year, we will be learning different skills such as addition, subtraction, time, money, and measurement. During our math period, we will be learning in small groups, while simultaneously participating in math workshop centers.
Science & social studies
Science and social studies are times where we can be explorers and scientists! This year we will be investigating animal life cycles, shorelines, the moon and sun, and so much more. We also will be talking about maps and globes, and the history of Lawrence township.
