Grade Two Instructional Units

This unit connects the second grade Math Common Core Learning Standards to College and Career Readiness Skills (i.e. working in small groups, communicating effectively with peers, reading and understanding information to produce a result). Students are required to partition circles and rectangles into halves, thirds and quarters as stated in standard 2.G.3.

We wanted our students to become experts in the area in which they live in and the boroughs in NYC. Students used lessons taught in math, science and social studies along with research gathered in reading workshop to produce information based on the various NYC landmarks. In a writing workshop, students wrote a five page book about NYC and had to include a landmark and had to include at least five facts/details.

The purpose of this unit is to provide students with the ability to recognize a force as a push/pull; determine the position of an object relative to another object; and describe the effects forces have on an object in a series of hands on inquiry based experiments.

The focus and purpose of this learning experience is for students to be able to explain what a music variation is and use “music words” to describe and compare and contrast what they hear. The students will be able to identify, recognize, and explain a music variation. The students will also use “music words” to describe various aspects of music (pitch, tempo, texture, style, etc.) in oral and written form.

This unit was created as a fun way to learn facts about the United States, and in a way that was more “real” and meaningful to the students. Students created Flat Stanley characters and mailed them to contacts across the United States for responses with information about the state. This unit integrates English Language Arts & Social Studies and fulfills many standards in these subject areas.

This unit helps students understand the importance of their neighborhood, how it serves the needs of its residents, its geography and history, and a sense of their roles in the neighborhood. This unit integrates skills development with neighborhood study through mapping, interviewing, reading, writing, data collection, and drawing.
