We have been hard in work in 2nd grade! In reading, we have finished our first unit in reading and we are moving on to Unit 2. In this unit we will learn about informational texts and how readers can be thinking about growing their knowledge by noticing details and asking questions. In Writing, we have been publishing our stories on the Google drive. Students are typing the stories by themselves and will be illustrating their books as well.
