How I plan to approach remote learning...

Building a class community will come first!
Simple, clear directions for assignments will be provided
Consistent schedules and routines
New information will be in given in small doses
Ongoing and individual feedback to students will be a priority.
On-line learning will be interactive and collaborative
There will be a balance between asynchronous and synchronous learning to allow flexibility.
With tremendous respect and appreciation for the challenges this creates at home for families. We are in this TOGETHER!

What can you do to help your child succeed this year...

As much as possible, help your child establish a predictable routine and rhythm for your days.
- 1. 1. Set and use timers, make visual checklists
    2. Create a learning space for your child.
      1. Quiet, clutter free, limit distractions
        Have supplies organized and accessible
    3. Allow for breaks and ensure time for fun and play.
Prioritize spending quality time each day with your children to increase their sense of security.
- 1. 1. Stay connected with family members and friends by video, phone, or handwritten letters.
    2. Spend time outside, and get regular exercise.
    3. Give your child something fun to look forward to. Schedule a game night, develop a menu for a special meal to cook together, or plan a pretend trip to an exotic location!
Encourage them to talk about their feelings and fears.
- 1. 1. Listen and accept their emotions without judgement
Read with your child!
- 1. 1. You can read the same book as a family, listen to an audio book and discuss it together, or read your own book in the same room! It is extremely valuable for students to see adults around them read for fun!
E-mail me with questions and feedback. I am here to support you as well as your student.

Essential 2nd Grade Standards and My Goals...

Reading

Read with greater fluency and expression.
Use decoding and comprehension strategies more efficiently (rereading, questioning, and so on).
Identify an increasing number of words by sight.
Spend time reading daily and use reading to research topics
Read a variety of genres for a variety of purposes

Writing

Students will write in a variety of genres with their audience in mind (stories, informational, persuasive, poetry)
Their writing will include more elaboration and better organization
Develop strategies for spelling new and difficult words
Improve revising, editing, and proofreading skills

Math

Add and subtract within 100.
Understanding place value up to 1,000.
Solve multi step story problems
Add coins accurately to $2.00
Tell time to the 5 minute

Speaking and Listening

Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions with diverse partners on grade 2 topics, texts, and issues, building on others’ ideas, asking for clarification when needed and expressing their own clearly

My Goal

My goal is to provide a safe and secure pace for your child to learn, make mistakes and grow socially and academically. Some students may not see themselves as readers or writers yet, but I hope that over the course of this year they begin to find joy of reading and fall in love with a series.
