In second grade, a different selection is read every week. Our weekly skills include spelling, vocabulary, writing, grammar, phonics, and comprehension strategies.

Readers Workshop: Weekly Selections
![Page 10: Mrs. Aman’s Wildcats! Welcome to our Classroom! Armor Elementary School Area 11.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e385503460f94b28407/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Readers Workshop:Guided Reading
Each Wildcat is a member of a small reading group, facilitated by an adult. Students work on a
variety of reading strategies during reading groups. To keep the noise level reasonable for good reading practice, other Wildcats work on
independent skills while reading groups are going on in the classroom.

Wildcat’s Spelling notebook. Spelling tests are administered on Friday
mornings.
