Curriculum Overview
|
Reading:
We blend resources from the MONDO program with Reading Workshop practices. Students have opportunities to read in different settings while engaging in authentic literature discussions and nonfiction research activities. The whole reading program is designed to reach readers of all levels and abilities, ensuring each student is working to his or her potential. Their reading stamina should increase as well as their abilities to ask meaningful questions about their text.

Writing:In second grade, we use the Writing Workshop model to teach writing. This model is process, not product centered. It focuses on allowing students to write about what they know and experiment with different writing styles. We will study different authors, learn ways to make writing more interesting, and integrate skills learned in our phonics program to help students become stronger writers and conventional spellers.
