Welcome second-grade families! Thank you for taking the time to read our second-grade blog. Make sure you are checking weekly for calendar updates, what we are a learning and announcements for second grade!
What are we learning?
Reading: In reading workshop this week, we will learn strategies to help us solve "tricky words." In writing workshop, we will explore how to write narratives that contain a beginning, a middle, and an ending. We will also launch our Grammer Talks by looking at common nouns in a mentor text taken from our favorite story "Wayside School."
Science: In science this week, learners will predict, observe, and record changes in the state of matter caused by magnetism. We will also classify matter by the properties of sinking and floating.
Social Studies: In social studies this week, learners will identify major landforms and bodies of water, including each of the continents and each of the oceans, on maps and globes.

Background Checks

It can sometimes take several weeks to process, so we encourage all parents to complete one at the start of the school year. You can access the form on the CISD website or by clicking here.
