Room 2  

Foundation - Year 2

Room 2 is Growing 

Our classroom just keeps growing! Even next week, we’ll be welcoming another new student...how exciting! That brings us to four new classmates in just the past three weeks. Each one has been a wonderful addition to our grade, bringing fresh energy, new friendships, great conversations, and even more opportunities for teamwork and learning together. We’re loving the buzz of our growing classroom!

Literacy

Our literacy routine is really starting to take shape as students grow more confident and independent in each part of their learning. We’ve been making small tweaks and adjustments along the way to create a routine that works well for everyone and supports the diverse needs of all our learners in Room 2. Here is a small glimpse into what our literacy routine and core literacy elements looks like in Room 2.

Part 1: Phonemic Awareness

Phonological Awareness Practice

Part 2: Phonics & Daily Review + Handwriting

Phonics Rotations (Explicit Direct Instruction of Phonics, Word Word, Sentence/Word Dictation and Choral Reading, Phonological Games)

Part 3: Fluency 

Reading Groups (Reading to Self, Reading to Others, Teacher Focus Group, Reading Eggs)

Part 4: Vocabulary + Comprehension

Mentor Text for reading skills and writing inspirations

Part 5: Writing

Writing Activities

Establishing a clear literacy routine will remain a big focus for Room 2. We are so proud of what we are achieving and we are achieving big things.
