During the remaining four months of school the second graders will learn about insects, weather, the water cycle and the seasons in science as well as the American westward expansion, the Civil War, civil rights and immigration in social studies.
Entering the unit on Tall Tales, Ms. Helmbrecht and Ms. Hull’s favorite unit in Core Knowledge, students will listen to stories, read poems and learn the historical significance of various Tall Tales like Casey Jones, Pecos Bill, John Henry and others.
Lastly, the second grade students will learn how to write narrative and descriptive pieces during writing class. Both narrative and descriptive writings allow students to be creative and have fun with their work. Please encourage your child to share their writings with you.
We’ve had a fantastic year and are charging strong towards the finish line! Please check the Second Grade Blog, linked on the STRIDE website, for important updates, volunteer opportunities and happenings each week.
Cheers,
Ms. Helmbrecht and Ms. Hull
