What We Are Learning This Month
Math
Balanced Literacy
Fluency and Reading With Expression: We are having so much fun practicing our fluency and reading expression with our readers theater plays! The students practice for a week and then perform their plays for the class. It has been a point of pride for the students.
Phonics and Word Work: We are currently working on long vowel patterns and how to determine the pattern when spelling. We are also working hard on reading and spelling our second grade sight words .
Writing: We will be starting our new writing unit on Realistic Fiction. The students will be learning the steps to produce a realistic fiction story.
