My Students

I teach an accelerated second grade class at a Title I school where a majority of students qualifies for free or reduced price lunch. My students come from a wide range of households speaking many different languages and having varying levels of access to learning opportunities outside of school.

What binds my students together is their sense of a class family.

They know that when they enter their classroom, they can count on each other for help, advice, and encouragement. Most of our activities are based on cooperative learning and teamwork.

My Project

I teach an Advanced Work Class of second grade students who are voracious readers requiring a plethora of reading materials to accelerate their learning. Because my Grade 2 students are advanced readers, they need a supplemental curriculum which incorporates Grade 3 vocabulary and texts.

I am requesting a vocabulary series that I have used to great success in the past: Wordly Wise.

It teaches words in different contexts so that students can transfer and apply their new knowledge.

I use Wordly Wise in various ways: students act out words in charade-like role plays while others guess. I also use word hunts like treasure hunts around the classroom to get students engaged kinesthetically. But maybe best of all: students play games while practicing new words on Quizlet, a digital resource included in this set.
