Children's Principles of Learning (Second Grade)


Eight Ways to LEARN in SECOND GRADE!

I am learning when I feel.

·       Safe

o   This is a safe room! In this classroom, you should be yourself! You can make your own choices! We all have different strengths and weaknesses! Your friends should not tease you or make you feel sad. Our class is cool, because we are all different!

·       Comfortable

o    We are all different! It is ok to ask questions! If you do not understand something, Mrs. Perius will help you. She will try to explain it in a different way! She might write it down, act it out, or find another way!

·       Interested

o   We all enjoy many things in our classroom! Sometimes, Mrs Perius will give groups of people different things to work on. She is trying to make sure everyone feels good about what they are learning. She wants everyone to feel like they are learning something new! Sometimes kids will go to other classes to learn. We want everyone to love learning! Not too hard, not too easy, but JUST RIGHT!

·       Challenged

o   In this class, you will not know everything. We are here to learn new things! It is ok to ask questions and to try again. Try your best, and don’t sweat the rest!

·        Involved

o   You are a part of this community! We are here to work together. We will all have jobs in our classroom. We are here to make friends, to keep our classroom safe and clean, and to learn!

·       Warm

o   When we are “On Target,” our class is respectful, responsible, and ready! If everyone is following the three Rs, our class is working well together. When everyone works together it creates a warm feeling. We will try our best to make others feel warm.

·       Excited

o   School is exciting! Every day will be filled with new things to do, games to play, and fun times with friends. You will have time to be creative and to share!

 

·    LIKE A SECOND GRADER!

o   Welcome to 2nd Grade! We are going to have a GREAT year!
