Welcome to Second Grade at Hartwood Elementary! This year is full of opportunities to learn and grow both academically and socially. Our focus is on building reading competency and mathematical understanding. In Reading, we are working on fluency, comprehension strategies, vocabulary and using phonetic principles. In Math, we are laying the foundation of understanding the number system, addition and subtraction, geometry, fractions, data analysis, and measurement. Second Grade is MAD about Science and loves Social Studies. Check out the units we will be discussing in theme this year. In our classrooms we are building our own community- a community of learners.

We have had a great first two weeks of school and it's hard to believe Fall begins tomorrow. Last week we adopted trees outside the front entrance to Hartwood Elementary. The students have chosen a tree to follow over the school year. They will watch their tree and note the changes over the seasons in their science folders we have created for them. The students will also get to track their own changes as they will be photographed with their trees during Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring. Just a reminder: Parent Night is next week!! Tuesday, September 29 at 6:30 in your child's classroom to learn about our daily routines and what we have been doing in school thus far.
