2nd Grade

Reading- Readers are noticing and analyzing the specific choices that authors make when writing fiction texts. This is called the author’s craft. Author's craft refers to the intentional decisions, tools, and techniques an author uses to write a story. It's about more than understanding what the author wrote. Author's craft is all about thinking about why the author wrote it the way they did.

Writing- Second graders are continuing to write organized and structured informational paragraphs about nonfiction topics of their choice. 

Math- Students deepen their understanding of addition and subtraction as they work within 1,000. Students reason about place value, properties of operations, and the relationship between numbers as they choose efficient solution strategies to solve problems.

Science - Students will explore the needs of plants through hands-on investigations. They will explore why and how plants disperse their seeds, what seeds need in order to grow, and what adult plants need in order to survive.
