Second Grade With Ms. Wiedmann
SEPTEMBER HIGHLIGHTS
We are off to a wonderful start to second grade!
We are using the newly created district
curriculum, which correlate with the Common
Core State Standards, to guide our learning this
year. We are learning to work as a team,
develop friendships, and build our classroom
community.
We are establishing the literacy classroom to
promote our reading. We are enjoying books at
our own reading level, as well as choosing
books that we find fun and interesting. We
began our guided reading groups.
In writing we are focused on writing personal
narratives, including details to make our stories
exciting. We are writing about our lives and
interests.
We began the second grade Phonics/Spelling
(Fundations) program. I set up an account on
SpellingCity.com with our spelling words. Feel
free to play the free games on this site (and use
it to see our weekly words, if your child loses
his/her spelling list). The direct link is
www.spellingcity.com/mswiedmann/.
In math we began the enVision Math program,
to support our new math curriculum. We
finished the first topic, “Understanding Addition
and Subtraction” and began the second,
“Addition Strategies.”
