Learning in Renton

Our dear second graders spend the majority of their day in literacy instruction. Students read out of the textbook, leveled readers, and accelerated reading books they choose on their own. Students read independtly, aloud, and along with peers in buddy reads. They also discuss the main idea and details in small groups with the classroom teacher. They then work on worksheet packets from the reading curriculum-addressing the content of the reading unit, as well as reading and writing strategies.

Literacy is also integrated during their their science unit on dinosaurs and fossils.
