Second grade

languages also helps promote cultural awareness. Learning foreign languages at a younger age can help with development of the language as well. All in all, learning a foreign language at a young age is a good idea. U.S. grade school children should be required to learn a foreign language. Grade school children should be required to learn a foreign language because of educational gain. “A study of 13,200 third and fifth graders in Louisiana public schools revealed that, regardless of race, gender or academic

I really want to teach second grade, so I am going to use that as my grade level focus for this portion. Second graders are typically a high level zero or a low level one. This doesn’t mean all of the students are going to fit into this pattern, this is just a starting point for planning and such. It will be fairly easy to tell if my students are at these levels by the way they discuss the shapes when they come up in discussions. At a level zero, the students will just be talking about the shapes

To my recollection, second grade was the actual start to my educational career. In my memory, second grade was the beginning of independent bus rides and of course, the dreaded spelling tests. The nostalgic and horrid memories of that year started out with the waiting game. The bus always arrived either extremely early or tirelessly late. The excited kindergardeners, first and second graders lined up first followed by the older kids. I still can recall the gray clouds splashed across the bleak morning

“You’re daughter Kayla, will have to remake the 2nd grade.” my teacher said “Why” my parents said “She missed to many days and didn’t complete all the homework.” It was 2007 and my family was planning on taking a trip to the Philippines, I was so excited I have always wanted to meet all my other family there. My parents thought that me missing two months of school wouldn’t matter, because it was just 2nd grade. Also since we got all my homework before I would leave. My teacher didn’t exactly like

To my former grade school teachers, I have a confession: I only learned one thing from you. It’s not what you think of course, it’s far worse. You taught me of course, but not the lessons you were supposed to. You taught me to doubt myself, to be ashamed of my knowledge, to hide my gifts and talents, and to sit silent even though I had plenty to say. “TV will rot your brain,” said my 2nd grade teacher. From Transformers, I learned about Mark Twain’s “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court”

For this curricular gap analysis I will be using data from the second grade classes in this case study school. There are two classes of second grade students with 40 total students. I feel that this is a pivotal year in learning to differentiate between just decoding words and actual reading. If there is a gap that can be filled in their reading journey, this is an important year to fill it so they can continue on to the higher grades without struggling to still learn to read. Instead, students

Braydon Thorman's education. Braydon is in Mrs. Kuithe's 3rd grade class. Braydon seems to be struggling A LOT. Braydon is a very bright kid and that is one reason I am so concerned. Braydon has ADHD and has been diagnosed sence kindergarden. He struggled mostly with being still in KG and first grade. second grade was great, we did have handwriting issues. This year however is such a set back. This is Braydons first year of getting grades and such a transition, a very very hard and stressful transition

relatively low reading levels. I have changed the names of the adults for privacy. Christan a twenty-four year old that I read with reads at the highest level of the five adults that I read with. Iwould say that she is between a high forth grade level and a low sixth grade level. When reading with Christan I noticed that she reads very quickly and she sometimes reads over some words and does not pronounce words correctly. I have told her many times that reading quickly is not always the best. I tell her

My earliest memory in life is being read aloud to by my parents as a baby. There I was, being rocked in a rocking chair by my mother, in one of the oldest homes in Columbia City. On the corner of Walnut Street, it was home to the young Parker family of three, one dog, many bats, and dust. The few years of my life on Walnut Street consisted of Dora the Explorer, asthma treatments, and being read to. Since these early years, I have outgrown Dora and asthma but my love for reading has continued to grow

when I learned one of these lessons was when I was in second grade. I had just moved to Oklahoma from Texas, but I was not nervous about going to a new school. I had always had no trouble making friends wherever I went. I did not expect to be met with challenges that no second grader should ever have to encounter; racism and being told that my friends could not play with me because I was a girl. It all began during the summer before second grade. My mom and I had moved from Texas to Oklahoma, while
