Second Grade Together - Part 3

Consistent early childhood education plays an important role in the lives of children. It provides children with consistent routines and unlimited learning opportunities, and provides families with the security of knowing their child is in a safe and nurturing environment. Having your child attend the class or group throughout their early years allows your child to develop relationships with the teacher and other children in that environment, which provides a sense of security. A child who is comfortable with the people in their life is more likely to participate and grow.

Second Grade Together Part 3 will follow the same patterns as part 1 and part 2 but with all new lessons. It is not required that you take Second Grade Together Part 1 or 2 in order to take part 3. 

In Second Grade Together, students will have a consistent teacher, schedule and classmates as they learn a variety of subjects that constitute a well balanced second grade experience. Students build on their learning experiences together as they learn variety of subjects. The social aspect of second grade is crucially important as students learn to communicate their thoughts, take turns, listen to each other and work together as a group. There will be opportunities for students to grow their social skills in every class. Students will get pdf worksheets for some week's lessons in order for the students to interact with the lessons being taught. Students will often be able to show and share the results of their work (if they feel comfortable) and be praised and encouraged for their accomplishments. As with all of my classes, this will be a fun, interactive and lively class. Shy students will not be forced to verbally respond or interact but active participation will be encouraged.

These pdf's will have worksheets that will be used in the next week's classes, as well as a parents letter with the topics of the week, supplies needed and anything they should know about the upcoming classes. Students will have the opportunity for classmates to become friends and work together to achieve our learning goals. I hope you can join us as we do 2nd grade together!
