Reading
We are very busy readers in second grade, and study reading concepts in a variety of ways. First, we continue to follow the Reading Street program, along with the Walk to Read model. This means that in a way, we have reading twice! We meet as a whole class, where we practice comprehension strategies, study grammar, and read and discuss the story of the week together. In Walk to Read, students meet in leveled groups to work on strategies that are most beneficial for their needs.
Mathematics
With Massachusetts changing to the Common Core Standards, we are also changing to a new math program! Beginning this year, students will be studying math using the Envision Math program. Please check back soon for more information about the program!
Social Studies
In Social Studies we cover a lot of important topics! These topics include Families/Ancestors, Communities/Neighborhoods, Citizenship/Government, World Geography, and World Cultures. We do a lot of map skills practice and sing the continent song to help us remember them.
Science
We study many exciting areas in Science! Topics include Life Cycles, Adaptations, Simple Machines, Weather Elements, and Oceans!
