2nd Grade Writing & Literature 

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

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

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

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