The first week of 2nd grade is over... can you believe it?! It went by in a flash, but here are the highlights from our curriculum. Each week we'll bring you a post about what we did in our classrooms as well as some suggestions for you to extend your child's learning at home.
Reading- We learned that there is more than one way to read a book! You can read the words, read the pictures, reread or retell the story.
Writing- Writing workshop was introduced!
Math- This week it was all about introducing our math routines and reviewing some concepts from 1st grade like sequencing numbers, coin identification, and the calendar.
Social Studies- We began developing a positive classroom community through team building activities and discussions about classroom rules.
- Tell stories! There is a direct correlation between the ability to tell stories orally and the ability to write them. Model for your child by telling them a story about when you were their age.
- Play I Spy with your child and be on the lookout for math all around. For example, advertisements with quantities and prices, schedules that list times, pictures of designs and structures, etc.
