2nd Grade
Reading & Math
Reading & Language
The 2nd grade reading program is a 100 minute, direct instruction, achievement grouped program, based on Project Read, Accelerated Reader, Literature and SRA.
These programs help provide a kinesthetic, systematic, visual and auditory approach to phonetic instruction.
Open Court Collection For Young Scholars provides some of the literature needed to reinforce the phonetic skills. It also provides literacy and language instruction needed to enhance fluency of reading.
Accelerated Reader is used to enhance the children's independent reading skills and further the pleasure of the reading experience.
Writing is developed through using the Six Trait & Collins Writing Program. We use the approach of using FCA's (Focus Correction Areas).
Math
Children have a 50 minute instructional period 5 days a week.
Problem Solving and Critical Thinking Skills are done on a daily basis in small or whole groups.
A hands on kinesthetic, visual, auditory, and systematic approach is also used in math.
The use of touch points for solving math skills is reinforced as needed.
Math homework is assigned per individual teacher's guidelines.
Homework Guidelines
Children receive homework 2-3 times a week.
The homework includes a variety of activities.
These include: reading stories, writing assignments, and practice specific reading skills.
This homework is to be signed by the parent/guardian and returned according to the individual teacher's guidelines.
Children achieving 80% or higher may qualify for a homework reward celebration at the end of the marking period.
Their names are also included in a Homework Honor Roll which is published in the local paper and district newsletter.
