Language Arts instruction is based on the California Standards and takes place daily in our classroom.
Our language arts "Team Time" occurs Tuesday through Friday.
We will use our district Language Arts reading text for basic instruction. We will also be using a variety of supplemental leveled and accelerated materials, such as Junior Great Books and the College of William and Mary curriculum, to best meet the needs of each student.
Please encourage your child to READ EVERYDAY! Find books they enjoy, feel challenged, and excited about. Take a trip to the library and explore together. Our 2nd graders love books and we want to continue this great habit!
