Quarter 2
Positivity Project
Positivity Project
The Positivity Project is a comprehensive, evidence-based positive character education curriculum serving 800+ PreK–12 schools across the United States and internationally. At the core of our work are positive psychology’s 24 character strengths, which teaches students actionable ways to build positive relationships in their lives. By teaching students to focus on character strengths—both in themselves and others—we create a culture of positivity that extends beyond the classroom. P2 helps students build self-awareness, empathy, and the ability to connect with others, leading to long-lasting improvements in school culture and individual student outcomes.

Letterland
Letterland
Letterland was created to teach phonics using a story-based approach. The story logic engages students leading to long term retention of concepts. What's more, Letterland is wonderfully multi-sensory. It activates every learning channel through music, actions, alliteration, movement, song, art, games and role-play.
In Quarter 2, students will continue long vowel teams, silent letters, R-Controlled vowels, "y" as a vowel, and diphthongs (a sound formed by the combination of two vowels in a single syllable).

By the end of the unit...
Students know that solids are materials that maintain their own shapes, while liquids tend to assume the shapes of their containers. Students know examples of materials that can be classified as solid and materials that can be classified as liquid. Students know water can be a liquid or a solid and can go back and forth from one form to the other when heat is added or removed. (Other examples include: candle wax, shortening, rock/lava). Students know things can be done to materials to change some of their properties, but not all materials respond the same way to what is done to them.
Students know how to measure and compare the volume of a liquid poured into different containers. Students know how to measure and compare the weight of water poured into different containers. Students know if water is turned into ice and then the ice is allowed to melt, the amount of water is the same as it was before freezing.
Students know how to measure and compare the volume of liquid poured into different containers. Students know that a container of water left open will contain less water over time, while a closed container of water will not change.
