2nd Grade Writing & Literature 

Required Textbook: Books from the Library, Explode the Code 3

Teacher: Emily Witter 

Course Description: This class focuses on helping new readers get excited by the books they are reading, and making writing enjoyable and interesting by exploring different genres and writing styles. Students read a chapter book (or a few small picture books) each month that stem from one writing style or genre. We spend our class time on interactive games and fun activities based on what we are reading. Spelling, grammar, and vocabulary are included in fun ways; in both class time and homework. We also have a few simple projects to grow their creative prowess and public speaking skills. My goal is to make sure we are covering all of language arts, but allow room for you to add to the homework if you prefer.

Classroom Work: Activities, games, projects, reading, and writing. 

Homework: Reading, writing, small projects, vocabulary, spelling, grammar.
