First Grade Happenings! 

Welcome to our second grade website! I am so excited to tell you all about our classroom! We  are gaining independence and beginning to take on more responsibilities. My goal is to see our students grow both socially and academically. We are working hard each day, but having lots of fun too! Your support makes all the difference, and we are grateful.  I look forward to building a successful partnership with you over the school year!

There are so many things to look forward to this year.

Please continue to look in your child's backpack each night and check their homework as well as any updates during the week. 

Science : We will begin with our unit on Weather.  We then progress into Earth Materials, Plant Unit and our STEM unit:  Designing a Playdough Process. 

Math : Our Math program : Envisionmath. It is a fun and challenging program to keep our math skills up and running ! 

Social Studies : This year we will be learning about our communities, map skills and the way our government works. We will be discussing and learning about the holidays celebrated in different cultures.  We will continue to work on character education, Scholastic News and National Geographic Explorer.  

Writing :  We will be able to build on our skills of writing with more creativity and finesse as we complete our Narrative, Opinion and Informative pieces. 

Reading : We will be exploring many fiction and non-fiction stories.  We will continue to use our reading strategies and skills to help us gain a better understanding of the written word. 

 We believe in open lines of communication between home and school. Let's work together to help our students reach their greatest potential! Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
