  10. Math Workshop Goal – Students to be fluent with numbers in different situations. Number Corner/ Target the Question Investigations Workshop Model: Mini Lesson Workshop Time Closure Meeting Math Homework: Monday – Thursday will be collected on Friday’s

  11. Social Studies The “Big Idea” in social studies is, “Leaders share many qualities.” We will examine the impact of various historical figures by asking: • What many qualities do leaders share? • In what ways do leaders solve problems? • How do leaders shape communities? • What are the many ways to be a leader?

  12. Reader’s Workshop Goal – Reading with Meaning (Comprehension) Becoming lifelong readers. • Workshop Model – Mini Lesson, Work Period, Closing meeting • Small Group Instruction • (Guided Reading Groups/Book Clubs) • Reading Homework • Browsing Boxes – Our “Just Right” Books .

  13. I.P.I.C.K • “Just Right” Books • I= I choose the book • P= Purpose: Why do I want to read it? Why was it written? • I= Interest: Do I like it? Is it interesting? • C= Comprehend: Do I understand it? Is it too hard? Too easy? • K= Know most of the words: 5 finger test- Too hard if there are 5 words you do not know

  14. Hundred Nights of Reading Students will be required to read the books sent home by the teacher. Students should read out loud to a parent at least 15 minutes a night. We also encourage the students to read a book of their choice after reading their guided reading or book club book. Students need to record the title of the book and how long they read. They have been told to bring you something to write with and ask you to please sign the log so they will receive credit towards the hundred nights. We will have a celebration party at the end of the year for the students who have completed their 100 nights. Students will earn an additional party for completing 125 nights of reading. Our party will be the end of May. Read On!

  15. Writer’s Workshop The “goal” in second grade is to learn that details convey meaning directly and indirectly. Students will be writing first draft compositions and revised compositions to increase their conventions, word choice and writing fluency skills. • Workshop Model – Mini Lesson, Work Period, Closing meeting

  16. Science Inquiry • We want our students to experience science in a real way. • We will use life experiences and experiments. • Many experiments are open-ended, in addition to doing them at school they can also be conducted at home, resulting in different outcomes.

  17. Homework • Homework is for practice or reinforcement. • Reading, Spelling and Math homework- Monday - Thursday • Unfinished work that is sent home to be completed is not the same as homework. • If a redo is sent home after a re-teaching session with the teacher, the first and second attempt will be averaged together for a grade in the grade book. A notation will be make that this is an averaged grade of a re-teach.
