Second grade

draw pictures around it for whatever was going on that week. I only got it one time; spelling was never really a strong suit for me not until much, much later. Second grade was back with Mrs. Crawford again. This was another excellent year because she was the teacher that got to teach us phonics, yes we waited until second grade to really delve into the world of phonics rather than kindergarten like the do now. Also, second grade is where we really started getting science and social studies for the first time. Back then we only had reading, math, spelling, and other little activities during kindergarten and first grade something that I truly believe would be beneficial to go back to because now the children aren’t getting a foundation and I can speak to this from experience having a 9 year hold…

Second grade is an amazing year for young students. This is when the English Language Arts learning begins transitioning from learning to read to reading to learn. The PA standards reflect that the student’s learning should focus on reading fluency, comprehension, and phonemic skills in addition to introducing, identifying, and using literary devices. There is a lot that the teachers need to cover in English Language Arts and that is why integration is my favorite thing. Many of the skills that…

As Time Goes By First Grade In The first grade , I was very short compared to the rest of the people in my class My mother would always style my hair like a typical little girl. A long part down the middle of my head and two pony tails on both sides of my head. I would always dress a little awkward because i would never wear what my mother picked out for me ever, “hey Brianna wear this today you will look so cute.” of course I would reply back with no i want to wear what i want too.”…

Word Identification As suggested by the Qualitative Reading Inventory-4 administrator’s manual instructions, the first grade word list was administered, to determine the instructional reading level to establish a starting point on the reading assessment. The QRI-4 guideline suggested Addison begin reading the word lists at the first grade level of the QRI-4, two levels below her current grade level. Addison completed the first grade word list automatically with 100% accuracy, in the allotted…

My Worst Education Experience “¿Itzel, Ya estas lista para la escuela?” this was the dreading question my mother would ask me every morning before going to school. I was a bilingual student in the second grade and I was struggling so much academically, which in the long run caused me to have internal struggles. I dreaded going to school every morning and having to put up with 8 hours of feeling like I was born stupid. My teacher, principal, and vice-principal did not have very good faith I was…

Her diligence, instruction, and willingness to try new strategies not only allowed me to become a reader and writer, it also let me experience the pleasure to be found in those two areas. Based on my conversations with my mother and my memory of that chance meeting, I would have to guess that Mrs. Pfeiffer was presented a child who had very little exposure to writing or reading, little to no knowledge of the alphabet, phonological awareness, or concepts of print. Whatever her strategies were,…

determined attitude. She was not willing to just say it was impossible. Unfortunately, I don’t remember all of what she did, but she talked about how difficult it had been for her to find time to work with me one on one. Based on what she said, I believe she had to focus on phonics instruction. Thanks to that meeting, I know I struggled in the early stages of literacy development. So, at this point I can only speculate about what appears to be my initial struggle to read and most likely, to…

can cause different symptoms which may include: fatigue, nausea, dizziness and restlessness. There may also be after effects such as headache or nervousness. There are three different grades to a concussion. A grade 1 concussion can usually be treated with rest and continued observation alone. The person may return to sports activities that same day, but only after examination by a trained professional, and after all symptoms have completely resolved. If the person sustains a second concussion…

Students are able to catch up to the appropriate grade level more easily when they are given texts that are on their grade level, instead of their instructional level (Allington, McCuisten & Billen, 2015). Since I wanted my student to be able to read some of the book on his own, I opted to go slightly below where he should be, while still pushing him past the instructional level. Now that he has conquered that book, however, I have moved up to a slightly more challenging book that was graded as…
