Language Reading – guided in small groups and independent Take-home reading books Writing – writing genres in Grade 2 include
Writing to Recount, Persuade, Describe (using informational reports), Entertain, Explain and Instruct
Speaking and Listening – oral presentations, active listening
Handwriting – Nelson Spelling – Word Study groups with word sorts,
journals, spelling phases, spelling strategies
Reading To retell texts using a sequence of events To recognize the main idea in a story To recognize initial consonant blends and digraphs To recognize long and short vowels and vowel digraphs To have an awareness of punctuation marks for expression and fluency To read for information and use a variety of books for simple research
Writing To produce individual imaginative and factual pieces of writing using the
writing process To organize thoughts and information for writing, develop drafts, analyze,
edit and revise as appropriate To form all letters correctly with appropriate spacing To use conventional spelling for high frequency words and words with
regular spelling patterns To learn spelling strategies for more complex spelling patterns and use a
personal dictionary To begin to use full stops, exclamation points, question marks, capital
letters, speech marks and correctly.
Speaking and Listening To ask questions and respond to those of
others To take turns when speaking and listening To participate in choral speaking To participate in role-playing and creative
activities To express ideas orally and articulately To develop descriptive vocabulary To develop confidence in expression: one-
to-one, class groups, large groups

MathematicsShape and Space, Measurement, Pattern and
Function, Data Handling, NumberReal-life problem-solvingConnecting mathematical concepts and
applications to learningEveryday Math is a resourceConcrete to abstract Investigating, questioning, discussing,
justifying and recording Variety of strategies for possible multiple
solutions – emphasis on process
Mathematics at ZIS We follow the secure goals outlined in the Everyday
Mathematics with adaptations as necessary in relationship to our Scope and Sequence
We use the Everyday Mathematics games, use of mental math, common routines and (adapted ) assessments
We will use the student journals when appropriate to support the learning of secure goals
Differentiated learning Summative and other relevant Math assessments are shown to
parents with student reflections We will supplement Everyday Mathematics assessments with
authentic performance tasks to assess conceptual understanding
We inform parents what we teach in Math, how and why for each Unit on the Blog.
Mathematics Learning Expectations:
To count by rote forward/backwards in ones from any 2 digit number To write and read numbers to 100 To count ordinal numbers to 20 To count in doubles, doubles +1, doubles+2 To use strategies to recall number facts with increased accuracy To understand place value for hundreds, tens and ones To add tens and ones with regrouping To subtract tens and ones with regrouping To record horizontally and vertically using the + and - signs To be introduced to the concept of multiplication (repeated addition, groups
of, rows of etc.) To skip count in twos, fives and tens To explore the concept of division (by seeing division as grouping or sharing) To recognize and name Swiss coinage by grouping coins to add to a specific
sum To tell the time to o’clock, ½ past, ¼ past.
To create and use data from simple graphs To understand the terms “double” and “half” To begin to recognize simple fractions To identify 2 and 3 dimensional shapes and objects in
the environment To compare and sort 2 and 3 dimensional shapes To develop language to describe capacity, length and
weight To identify the appropriate tools used to measure length
and weight To develop skills of estimation To develop problem-solving skills To formulate problems form everyday situations To develop and apply strategies to solve a variety of
problems

Home Learning at ZISLearning Logs - Designed to encourage creativity
and foster a love of learningInquiry-basedMathematics, Language, Unit of Inquiry, ReadingReinforce and develop knowledge, understanding
and skillOpen-ended learning challenges – students
choose a style and approach that suits them eg. poster, song, model, pictures, play, presentation, games, puzzles, activities
Learning behaviours – continuation of approach in classroom, building on learning during the day, revision of work, effort…
Home Learning at ZIS Learning challenges set Monday, returned
to school a week on Wednesday, shared in class from Wednesday onwards – more time for a more meaningful response
Time to share & value achievementsMore detailed information will be in the
front of the learning log book.
