This fall, the second grade participated in cornucopia. Every Thursday, we go out to the garden and learn about how the changing of seasons impacts the garden. We also explore bugs in the garden and harvesting! The program ran for the first 7 weeks of school!

LetterLand lessons and activities are done during our morning ELA block. Our afternoon ELA block is when we do reading groups and reading choice! When students are not in reading group or doing assigned reading, they get to make a choice of reading to someone, reading to self, listening to reading, word work, or sight words. Students are responsible for making their own choice and building their reading stamina one day at a time!
In second grade, we cover opinion writing (Fall), narrative writing (Winter), and informative writing (Spring). The second graders have started to work on organizing their thoughts with graphic organizers. From there we move to drafting, revising, and publishing!
