What’s it like to be in our classroom?
What the Children think!
My personal favorite !
In Grade 2 we cover four Units of Inquiry.1). Interconnectedness
Essential Questions How are living things connected? Why do living things look different? Understanding Ecosystems can help us to understand
that organisms and their environments are interconnected.
Vocabulary Words Connections, responsibility, habitats,
food web, food chain, features, behaviors, survive, local environment, protect, interconnected .
2). Time3). Discovery 4). Celebration
Units of Inquiry
Interconnectedness
Everyday Math program. Each child has a workbook. We also use supplementary resources to enhance student learning and
for differentiation. In Grade 2 we use small group activities to teach the various
mathematical concepts. Every week, a lesson is set aside specifically for the development of
basic facts from 1-20 in addition and subtraction. ICT is also used to help develop numeracy skills.
Numeracy
There will be no spelling homework. Twice a week children will have a 45 minute spelling lesson.
The lessons will be activities based around teaching children strategies to help them spell and read words independently.
Spelling Inquiry
Writing Focus - specifically linked with the unit of inquiry being studied. Procedural Script Writing rules, note taking, factual reports, letter writing, interviews, personal recounts, newspaper reports, imaginative writing, fairy tales play scripts Advertisements Invitations Recipes Various forms of poetry.
Organization – planning and sequencing of ideas Sentence structure – Grammar, word choice, sentence variety, Paragraphs Mechanics – Spelling, capitalization, punctuation Handwriting - The basic writing skills will also be taught in D’Nelian.
Literacy
Alfie Kohn – “there is absolutely no evidence of any academic benefit from assigning homework in elementary or middle school. For younger students, in fact, there isn’t even a correlation between whether children do homework (or how much they do) and any meaningful measure of achievement”
Reading Focus - Guided Reading, Reading Folder, CMC, Phonics Program
Homework
