Reading: Our guided reading groups will help students build strong reading fluency and comprehension. We will begin focusing on short vowels, long vowels, prefixes, suffixes, and root words.
Math: We will begin by reviewing addition and subtraction skills learned in first grade. Before long, we will be practicing double-digit addition with regrouping. 
Social Studies: We will be learning about the characteristics of urban and rural communities, and will begin to explore how neighborhoods have changed over time.
Science: Our focus will be on weather for first quarter. We will learn about what to do to remain safe in different types of weather. We will also be discussing differences between the seasons.
