They recently finished a unit on South Dakota. They will be finishing the year with a glimpse into the remainder holidays and books called “American Culture” and “Community Service.”

• ESL Entering (students with an ACCESS score of 1.0 – 1.9): ESL Entering students are just about finished with the “Building Background” portion of “The Call of the Wild” unit. They are finishing lessons on sled dogs. Next week, they will learn about the Klondike Gold Rush. After that, they will read the novel “The Call of the Wild.”

• ESL Emerging B (Students with an ACCESS score of 2.5 – 2.9): This class is reading the novel “The Outsiders.” We are only a couple of chapters into it, but they are enjoying it.

Madison 2-3 Center

Second-graders in Team 4 at Madison 2-3 Center are growing skills to get ready for third grade. In math, students are working on a variety of concepts from multi-digit addition to multi-digit subtraction to telling time and counting coins. In writing, they continue to work on writing good sentences and expanding writing and adding details to make writing more interesting for the reader. In reading, they are focusing on biographies. Learning about new and different people while thinking about the sequence of events in the story and their impact on society. As the year draws closer to the end, staff look forward to all the fun things that happen, but also know it will cause anxiety for some of our kiddos.
