Preventing the spread of diseases is not only an Indiana Academic Standard that is required, but is applicable to keep schools and students healthy. This lesson plan is perfect for a heath teacher or general educator regarding grade 2. While this lesson is intended for Grade 2, it can be easily modified to reach younger grades or made more challenging and/or in-depth for older grades.

This is a short lesson plan for a second grade math class. This is a short lesson plan for a second grade math class. It aligns with the South Carolina College- and Career-Ready Standards for Mathematics Page 23: 2.MDA.7 Solve real-world/story problems involving dollar bills using the $ symbol or involving quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies using the ¢ symbol.

This is a short lesson plan for a second grade math class. It aligns with Nebraska State Standard: MA 2.3.3.a Solve real-world problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¢ symbols appropriately.

This sequence of instruction was developed in the Growing Elementary Science Project to help elementary teachers who were working remotely.  We developed a short storyline that ties together a few sessions to help explore a specific concept.  We tried to include some activities that honored and included the student’s family and experience, and some that included the potential for ELA learning goals.
Students view a couple of videos and record what they notice and wonder about how plants change as seasons change. Students take a walk with family members to search for evidence of changes due to weather in their neighborhoods.
It is part of ClimeTime - a collaboration among all nine Educational Service Districts (ESDs) in Washington and many Community Partners to provide programs for science teacher training around Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and climate science, thanks to grant money made available to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) by Governor Inslee. 

The "Into the Book" web site is designed to help elementary students practice eight reading comprehension strategies through playful interactive activities. The site focuses on eight research-based strategies: Using Prior Knowledge, Making Connections, Questioning, Visualizing, Inferring, Summarizing, Evaluating and Synthesizing. "Behind the Lesson," the teacher area of the site, provides information, lesson plans and other resources for teachers.

Welcome to the UnboundEd Mathematics Guide series! These guides are designed to explain what new, high standards for mathematics say about what students should learn in each grade, and what they mean for curriculum and instruction. This guide, the first for Grade 2, includes three parts. The first part gives a “tour” of the standards for the first two clusters ofOperations & Algebraic Thinking (2.OA.A and 2.OA.B) using freely available online resources that you can use or adapt for your class. The second part shows how Operations & Algebraic Thinking relate to representing and interpreting data in Grade 2 (2.MD.D). And the third part explains where the skills and understandings within 2.OA and 2.OA.B are situated in the progression of learning in Grades K-2. Throughout all of our guides, we include a large number of sample math problems. We strongly suggest tackling these problems yourself to help best understand the methods and strategies weÂ’re covering, and the potential challenges your students might face.Â

Trees grow all around us. Sometimes they are in large forests and sometimes they are single trees along the road or in our schoolyards. In this storyline, students explore cultural connections with trees, learn about the characteristics of trees, and discover what trees need to grow through handson activities, art, and literacy integration.

This performance assessment aligns with NGSS Performance Expectation 2.LS4.1 and is intended to be used as an interim assessment. These assessments can either be used summatively, as an end of learning activity, or formatively, utilizing student responses to identify next instructional steps
