Reading
We are practicing "Daily 5" in the classroom. Daily 5 is a reading program that encompasses a 5 step rotation of....
1. Reading to themselves
2. Reading with a partner
3. Word Work- Sight words
4. Reading with the teacher
5. Listening to reading
* Please also remember to have your child read to you every day. Even 10 extra minutes a day can help your second grader tremendously especially with their stamina! If you have time take them to a public library or book store and have them pick out a series that they enjoy reading. *

Writing
Writers Workshop: Writing instruction will include a mini lesson modeling a skill, time to practice the skills, independent writing time and end with a sharing time. Students will learn to write "super sentences" and complete paragraphs. We will be working on personal narratives, informational writing, opinion writing and poetry this year. Students will also have the opportunity to journal and write about topics of their own choosing or write in our class journals.
