Thematic Units


We have many engaging themes in second grade!  Some of these include the study of our community, birds, Woodland Indians, fairytales, and pond life.  In literacy, we’ll explore a variety of authors and genres- we’ll read the chapter book series by Ruth Stiles Gannett, Three Tales of My Father’s Dragon and The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo.  In math, children will be working on the understanding of numbers, addition and subtraction, and exploring basic principles of geometry and measurement.  We end the year with a trip to Squam Lake Science Center!
