    teacher This class is a second grade class. The students use a great deal of higher level thinking skills to analyze and discuss classroom readings. We use the core curriculum of the district and supplement it with activities that promote problem solving and planning. We will be using the GATE icons to encourage depth of learning. We will also be working on some problem based learning this year.  This involves integrating our math, reading, science, and social studies in a unit that applies all those areas to a real life problem.

     

     

     
  • AR READING
     Your child may access AR at home.  They may use AR to lok at their bookshelf.  They can see what books they have taken tests on already.  You may log in as a parent and receive texts when your child takes an AR test.  This can keep you up to date on their points.  I require the students to earn 10 points per trimester.  Please, be sure they are keeping up.  It's hard to catch up at the end of the trimester.
