Buddy reading is a great way to practice reading fluency! You can try “I read, you read” taking turns each page or just read together 😊 Try some buddy reading at home! #HawksDoItDifferent @HortonsCreekES @MissThatcher2nd

We had a great Showcase Night in second grade yesterday! Students showed independence by taking charge of showing their parents around their classrooms and demonstrating some of their latest math and reading skills! @HortonsCreekES

Reading LetterLand stories is part of our routine each week! After reading as a whole class, students get to practice with a partner. Look at these second graders growing their reading skills 💪🏼 📖🤓#readersareleaders @HortonsCreekES

We may not have many days left, but we’re still busy having fun as we learn! Check out these 2D & 3D models we created! These students also showed extra flexibility by working in different locations while upper grades students were testing 💪🏼 #hawksdoitdifferent @HortonsCreekES

To finish up our science and EL units, students planted their own seeds and are taking charge of their care. Grow plants, grow! 🌱🪴@HortonsCreekES

Have you seen what’s been fluttering around in second grade lately? Ask your students about our six-legged friends! @HortonsCreekES #hawksdoitsifferent

Today our students explored creating bar graphs using colored tiles, did a gallery walk, then wrote their own survey questions and made a bar graph to represent their data 📊#mathematiciansatwork #hawksdoitdifferent @HortonsCreekES

As part of a series of lessons on gaining information through close viewing, our second graders drew some fantastic scientific sketches of various pollinators 🐝🦋🪲 @HortonsCreekES

[Hortons Creek 2nd @HCES_2nd]

We had a great start to M3 Unit 2 of EL by doing a poster walk! Students examined pictures of different pollinators and recorded things they noticed and wondered to jumpstart their learning! #togetherisbetter @HortonsCreekES

As an introduction to our new EL module, students had a chance to feel these items in a “mystery bag” to help them figure out what we would be focusing on next. Can you guess the topic of our next module? #hawksdoitdifferent #handsonlearning @HortonsCreekES

We started learning about fossils and the archeologist Mary Anning this week so we dressed up as a group of archeologists and Mary Anning’s “dino digging dog” Pepper! 🦖🗺🦴 Check out “Stone Girl, Bone Girl” or “The Dog that Dug for Dinosaurs” to learn more about Mary Anning!

Yesterday our second grade students combined exercise and math for an exciting lesson! Groups of 3 students counted how many push-ups they could each do, then worked together to add up the three numbers to find the total! #hawksdoitdifferent #secondgrade @HortonsCreekES
