Welcome to Second Grade

We will begin our year with a lot of activities that will help us to get to know each other better. We will also spend time practicing the routine and guidelines of the classroom. Our first writing unit will focus on writing personal narratives. Do you remember this from first grade? We will be writing small moment stories! These are stories about something that you have experienced, but focusing on one small moment, rather than the entire experience. Think about writing about one seed from the watermelon, rather than the entire watermelon!

In math we will review and practice addition and subtraction facts. We will learn different strategies to think about and show addition and subtraction.
