2nd Grade Round Table
Monday January 20, 2025 10:45am - 11:30am CST
TBA
Join us for casual, yet meaningful conversations about all things 2nd grade! Please come with 2-3 go-to lessons or strategies you’d be willing to share. Our hope is that we all walk away with new ideas we can immediately incorporate into our own classrooms.  Some possible topics to consider when preparing would be:
- Daily Scheduling and Routine -- How do fit it all in and do each thing justice?
- Enrichment -- What are people doing in the classroom for those kids who get it? How are we moving them forward?
- Small Groups -- How are you addressing the various levels of abilities? What types of tasks do students not with a teacher work on?
- Writing -- Topics? Tips for improving general sentence structure? What are your expectations for 2nd grade writing at the end of the year and how do you get there?
- Student/Classroom Management -- Needs go so far beyond academics - any tips and tricks for addressing the different areas of concern we are commonly seeing these days?
