Some reading strategies we use to become better readers are rereading and identifying the author's point of view within a text. Students will read texts that are fictional and non-fictional in different genres. They will apply these reading strategies to better understand and make inferences about texts.
Students will complete a weekly Wonders spelling, vocabulary and Comprehension test in the google classroom.
Writing activities will continue to focus on creating a clear summary of a provided text with important information about the beginning middle and end of a text. Students will use grade level appropriate vocabulary words to express and describe events in the articles and stories they read.
Students will also complete opinion paragraphs using the OREO graphic organizer. (Opinion, Reason, Example, Opinion)
History & Geography

In our 2nd Step curriculum students learn how to identify their feelings by observing their body, and reactions. We practice together using strategies that help us deal with our strong emotions. The "Calm it Down" song helps students remember to stop, name your feeling, take belly breaths, count, or focus on more positive things.
