Our students get the opportunity to do on level spelling and word work according to each individual child’s needs. We are doing a program called Words Their Way. Students are put into leveled groups according to needs. While in these groups they get to sort word patterns and practice how to recognize words and spelling patterns. This will help them become master future spellers!

We are learning a word sort together as a class this week. I recorded our lesson today for those of you (parents and students) that are new to the Words Their Way program. Take a look and see how we start a new list. Watch for more videos to explain the different ways/games we play to practice our word sorts. 

Today we learned how to comment on the blog! Leave a comment letting me know how the first few days of second grade are going for you, whats been your favorite part? I love hearing from you here on the blog!

I will post a video later, you can comment on that as well!

We had a great first day here in 2nd grade! I am so lucky to get to work with all your little ones! Thanks for sharing them with me! 

For those of you that have not signed our class disclosure online, please do so ASAP. I am excited to start sharing videos of all the fun things we do in class. Please let me know if you DO NOT want your child’s picture on the blog, thank you!

We are off to a great start and I am excited to start this school year. We have such a smart, honest, friendly, sweet and caring class.
