This will be an ongoing full curriculum 2nd-grade pod that includes English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. I will utilize Nearpod nearly every class. Nearpod is an excellent resource that will allow for lessons with interactive slides, videos, games, and more. For ELA and Math, I teach using the I do, we do, you do method. I will teach the mini-lesson, show examples, and allow students to practice individually. We will also utilize the whiteboard. Activities/worksheets will also be assigned as practice between classes. For science, there will be mini-lessons, occasional hands-on activities, and science journals. Social Studies will have a combination of interactive lessons, worksheets, and hands-on activities. After enrollment each learner will have access to Lalilo and Zearn. Lalilo is a program to practice reading fluency and comprehension. Zearn is a program to practice math topics and fact fluency. Your learner will receive a login for both via Outschool messaging. 

👉🏻 Homework is optional but is highly recommended. I will grade and give feedback if requested. Please let me know after enrolling if you would like to take advantage of that.
