Families,

Welcome to our class website!  At our site you can find information about what we are working on in each content area, current homework, our weekly newsletter, and news about upcoming events. The homework, newsletter, and upcoming events sections will be updated weekly.  Other sections of the website will be updated as we transition between units of study.  If there is something you would like to see added to our class website, please let me know and I will see what I can do!

 

Second grade is such a growth year for students and they are growing up in so many ways!  Although students will be involved in a number of units of study throughout the year, there will be some year-long themes that help us to tie everything together.  The following are the Yearlong Essential Questions for Second Graders:

• How do decisions influence community?
• What do effective problem solvers do when they get stuck?
• How do thinkers notice and use structure?
• What decisions do thinkers make to communicate clearly?
• How do thinkers communicate in partnerships to deepen their understanding?
• How does flexibility enable thinkers to create meaning with texts?
• How do thinkers use feedback and reflection to further their learning?
• How do thinkers use evidence to draw conclusions?
