Recent ActivityWorking With Words is the phonics/spelling portion of our language arts curriculum. We spend a lot of time learning how to use the chunks or patterns of words to spell other words.
We do writing everyday. We want your second grader to see them self as a writer who can write interesting stories that have a beginning, middle, and end. This year we are pen pals with another second grade class at a school in Hastings to get even more real life writing practice.
Math is a continuation of the Saxon math program. It is a fast-paced program that presents many varied math topics in a repeated cycle.
Social studies and Science are also included in the curriculum. Social studies topics include: culture, family heritage, Native American People, and our country and its symbols. Science topics include: plants, push/pull, the solar system, and more.
Announcements NEWS! We are very excited for our field trip to the Hastings Museum. We can't wait to learn even more about weather and space!
Second Grade Poetry Academy As second graders our goal is to become fluent readers (reading smoothly with expression). To help accomplish this goal, we need your help. Each week the second graders will be given one or two new poems. The poems will be introduced, read, and discussed with the classroom teacher every Wednesday. After the poems have been introduced, they will practice reading the poems with a partner. The next step will be for your child to read the poem out loud to at least five adults. (They may read to more if they choose.) After your child has read the poem(s) to the adult, the adult will need to sign and date the back of each poem. Then your child needs to return the 3-ring binder with the signed poems back to school by the following Tuesday to receive their new poems.
