Whole School Writing Goals

We are working very hard as a school to help improve our students ability to write complete (and correct) sentences. The area that we are struggling with is conventions. Some specific skills that we are working on in second grade include:

• Showing consistent use of capitals at the beginning of sentences and for proper nouns.
• Showing consistent use of punctuation.
  
• Spelling high-frequency words correctly.
• Showing accurate spelling of previously studied words.
• Demonstrating risk-taking to spell challenging words.

In our classroom we are focusing on the first two goals right now. Please take the time to have your child practice their writing skills. With the PowerPoint below you can click on the hyperlinks on the last page and they will take you to online games that will help strengthen your child's skills. Play with them to get a feel of how well your child is mastering this concept.
