Letter from the Chancellor:
The health and safety of all NYC Department of Education (DOE) students continues to be our first priority in the wake of the evolving situation around the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in New York City. There are a number of actions we have taken and many things you can do to keep our communities safe. The most important action you can take is to stay home if you are sick.
Please see the Letters from the Chancellor for additional information on what the schools are doing to stop the spread of COVID-19.

2nd Grade Supply List
Reading Workshop:
Readers will pay close attention to characters as they read. Students will think about how characters respond to events and challenges, along with thinking about character’s feelings throughout the turns of the text. Through this close work on with characters, readers will “ask and answer who, what, where, when, why and how” to show their understanding of the key details within the text. Readers will practice walking in the characters' shoes, taking on the events and challenges their characters face.
Helpful Tips for Parents:
Writing Workshop:
In writing workshop, students will be working on informational writing. Students will be writing about topics they know a lot of information about. Writers will be breaking down their topics into separate sections, and writing as much as they can concerning different areas of that topic.
Helpful Tips for Parents:
Math Workshop:
We will focus on the place value of 2-digit numbers, and operating on those numbers within 100. Students will come to see 100 as 10 tens and multiples of 100 as being made up of some number of hundreds. They will solve a variety of types of story problems. They will play games that involve combining amounts to get to 100 or $1.00. They will work on fluency with addition and subtraction within 100, with a focus on using known facts and knowledge of the operation. Students will also identify, read, and write numbers to 500, and add and subtract 10 in that range.
Helpful Tips for Parents:
Science:
In January, 2nd graders will start a new unit of study: The Changes to Land Over Time. This unit focuses on the processes that change land over time. Students will develop and use models to demonstrate the effects of erosion and weathering on land.
