Second grade is such an exciting year!  We will have a wonderful time learning and growing together. 

Reading and Writing—Second graders spend a lot of time reading and writing.  In reading, we focus on reading fluently.  We call this “reading like we talk.”  Good readers identify words quickly, read at an appropriate pace, and use appropriate phrasing and expression.  We also focus on reading comprehension.  In writing, we practice the writing process covering these six steps:  Brainstorming, Drafting, Revising, Editing, Publishing, and Sharing.  We also work on writing complete paragraphs including topic sentences, detailed supporting sentences, and conclusions.

Science—Second graders learn and apply the scientific inquiry process.  We study force, motion, and simple machines.  We also learn about weather, and plants and animals.  Second graders also participate in lab activities for each topic.
