Below are the skills we will be focusing on during the month of September:

LITERACY

We will begin our new school year by focusing on routines and procedures.  Throughout the first few weeks we will take some time to get to know our new classmates through Zoom as well as play games to help us build relationships.  The students will become familiar with their new learning platform:  Google Classroom, take a tour of our virtual classroom, and show Grandview Greatness by following our class' Zoom Expectations.  Later we will be introduced to Reader’s and Writer’s Workshop as well as our phonics program:  Fundations.

 
MATH
We will begin each day with our morning meeting where we will review the calendar.  This will includes math skills the students learned in first grade and will continue to expand upon in second grade, such as identifying the date, the days of the week, the months of the year, patterns, even and odd numbers, skip counting, place value, using different coins to create the date and more!  The students will begin Go Math – Chapter 1, titled “Number Concepts.”  Throughout the chapter the students will practice counting even and odd numbers, understanding digits and place value, and counting patterns within a hundreds chart.
