Writing in the 2nd grade!!
In the second grade the students are writing frequently. In the morning there is always morning work which usually consists of some form of writing.
So far, the students have learned more about punctuation marks like, commas, periods, exclamation points, question marks, quotations and apostrophes. The students have a writing project every month and they are using the Writing Process to help with their projects. The two writing projects in September and October was about the 5P's (proper preparation prevents poor performance), and the importance of voting. Now (the first week in November) the students are writing a poem about a change in their life. They're using the writing process to help with their poem.
The students are also learning about singular and plural nouns and capital letters. Parents take a look at the wall outside our classroom, your child's writing may be on display!
In December the students use the writing process to write about Common good - helping others at school or home. They also wrote a paper about, If I were a Giant!"
January's writing is about Rules, how we have rules to help keep us safe and it is very important that we follow rules!
