Charles England Elementary School

I have high expectations of all of my students. I want them to work hard and try their best each and every day. Second Grade is the year where all the foundational learning begins to click. You will notice a lot of what I call "light bulb" moments as your children learn and grow so much!

Charles England is a Leader in Me school. This means that we are actively working to teach our students that each of them has the ability to be the leader of their own outcomes. Students work every day to practice the 7 Habits and learn how these habits can help them to be more responsible members of their school and home communities.

What are We Learning?

Reading Standards Covered in 3rd and 4th Quarter:.

• RL.2.2 Recount stories, including fables and folktales from diverse cultures, and determine their central message, lesson, or moral.

• RL 2.3 Describe how characters in a story respond to major events and challenges.

• RL 2.6 Distinguish differences in the points of view of characters, including by speaking in a different voice for each character when reading dialogue aloud.

• RL 2.9 Compare and contrast two or more versions of the same story  by different authors or from different cultures.

• RL 2.6 Acknowledge differences in the points of view of characters, including by speaking in a different voice for each character when reading dialogue aloud.

• RI2.1 Ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text.

• RL 2.5 Describe the overall structure of a story, including describing how the beginning introduces the story, the events unfold in the middle, and the ending concludes the action.

• RI 2.7 Explain how specific images contribute to and clarify a text.

• RI 2.6 Identify the main purpose of a text, including what the author wants to answer, explain, or describe.

   

Math Standards Covered in 3rd and 4th Quarter: 

• 2.NBT.7 Add and subtract within 1,000, relating the strategy to a written method, using: 

  • Concrete models or drawings 

  • Strategies based on place value 

  • Properties of operations 

  • Relationship between addition and subtraction

• 2.MD.1 Measure the length of an object in standard units by selecting and using appropriate tools such as rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes.

• 2.MD.2  Measure the length of an object twice, using length units of different lengths for the two measurements; describe how the two measurements relate to the size of the unit chosen.

• 2.MD.4  Measure to determine how much longer one object is than another, expressing the length difference in terms of a standard length unit.

• 2.MD.5 Use addition and subtraction, within 100 to solve word problems involving lengths that are given in the same units, using equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

• 2.MD.6 Represent whole numbers as lengths from 0 on a number line diagram with equally spaced points and represent whole-number sums and differences, within 100, on a number line diagram.

• 2.G.1 Recognize and draw triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons, having specified attributes; recognize and describe attributes of rectangular prisms and cubes.

• 2.G.3 Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares.

  • Describe the shares using the words halves, thirds, half of, a third of, fourths, fourth of, quarter of.

  • Describe the whole as two halves, three thirds, four fourths. 

  • Explain that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape.

• 2.OA.4 Use addition to find the total number of objects arranged in rectangular arrays with up to 5 rows and 5 columns; write an equation to express the total as a sum of equal addends.

• 2.OA.3 Determine whether a group of objects, within 20, has an odd or even number of members by: 

• Pairing objects, then counting them by 2s. 

• Determining whether objects can be placed into two equal groups. 

• Writing an equation to express an even number as a sum of two equal addends
