What can my child expect in Second Grade? • Students are given alphabetical grades: A=100-90% B= 89-80% C= 79-75% D= 74-70 F= 69-below • Students must earn a 70% average or above in LA and Math to be promoted to 3rd grade. Their overall average must also be 70% or higher. I will request a conference if your child’s average in any area is a 74 or below. • Grades that are circled have been recorded in the gradebook.

  5. Increased Expectations

  6. Reading Expectations • Students must read daily to build fluency, accuracy, and comprehension. • Students must be able to apply a variety of decoding strategies. • Students must self-monitor and correct when comprehension breaks down by using reading strategies proficiently. • Students need to read for prolonged periods of time and be able to retell the text.

  8. What does that mean for Writing? • Students must be able to speak and write in complete sentences, using correct grammar and mechanics. • Students must be able to brainstorm ideas, organize thoughts, and speak and write about the topic. • Handwriting (E, S, N, U)

  9. What does that mean in regards to math? • Students’ success with problem-solving is greatly affected by reading ability. • Students must be able to prolong focus in order to break down multi-step problem and use strategies. • Students must know math facts to 20 effortlessly. • Students need to understand math vocabulary and relate math to everyday situations.

  10. Math Fact Fluency In Second grade, students will be assessed on their fact fluency on a regular basis as required by the TEKS for their grade level. Timed, weekly assessments will be taken and averaged as a daily grade during the first nine weeks. Beginning in the second nine weeks, the grade will account for ½ of major grade for the remaining nine weeks.

  11. Words Their Way Word Their Way is a spelling program that is based on the development of each student in terms of letter/word/pattern awareness. Students were given an inventory test to assess and look for strengths and weaknesses in word patterns. Word sorts will be sent home to reinforce patterns. Students will receive a cumulative major writing grade. Fifteen of the words will come from the sort and five mystery words will follow the pattern.

  12. Homework • Homework is the reinforcement of learning that occurs in the classroom. • Students will receive their homework folders on Friday afternoon and return them on the following Friday morning. • Homework consists of students reading to an adult for 15-20 minutes each night from their home reader. • Each week will consist of: • -word work • -a Reader’s Response • -math word problems along with math fact practice

  13. Attendance: Daily attendance is vital to student learning. It is important for your child to be at school on time. Students enter the classroom at 8:10 in the morning and begin working on warm-ups at that time. Early dismissals without dr. note will impact a student’s attendance (minutes of instruction).
