Common Core Performance Standards (CCGPS) The performance standards provide clear expectations for instruction, assessment, and student work. They define the level of work that demonstrates achievement of the standards, enabling a teacher to know “how good is good enough.” The performance standards isolate and identify the skills needed to use the knowledge and skills to problem-solve, reason, communicate, and make connections with other information. They also tell the teacher how to assess the extent to which the student knows the material or can manipulate and apply the information.

Reporting Student Performance A score of 3 indicates the student has met expectations for that standard. Student scores will be reported to parents using the weekly student work folders sent home by classroom teachers. 1 – Performance is below standard and student needs frequent teacher support, re-teaching, and additional practice. 2 – Performance is approaching standard and student applies learned skills with some teacher support. 3 – Performance meets standard and student produces quality work with little to no teacher support (expectation)   KEY TO STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT

Work Habits and Behavior Student work habits and behavior will be reported using the following grading scale: S (Satisfactory) N(Needs Improvement) U (Unsatisfactory)

Second Grade Challenges 25 Book Challenge Math Fact Challenge Read Aloud Challenge

25 Book Challenge Students will keep a reading log to record and keep track to the books they read and include a summary or other literary response as evidence of completion. Parents will be required to sign and date student reading logs. A parent letter explaining the 25 Book Reading Challenge was sent home. Each student will have a chart in class to display individual progress. Teachers will display a class thermometer in the hall to record and show class progress based on the number of students x 25. Students who meet their goal will be given a certificate of completion at the end of the year by their teacher.

Read Aloud Challenge   Teachers will use books with rich vocabulary to introduce lessons on a weekly basis. Teachers will use read aloud books to discuss and review literary elements, rich vocabulary, and writing traits. Teachers will read aloud daily 10-15 minutes every day after recess. Teachers will create a chart for students to write reviews and post comments about the books the teachers read aloud in class.

Math Fact Challenge   Teachers will introduce and teach math fact strategies to support student acquisition of math facts. Students will practice math facts daily: drills, flashcards, and other games. Students will make a set of flash cards for each table or strategy to take home and practice. Students will chart their individual progress. Teachers will display individual student progress in a central location.

Students will learn… Single digit Addition and Subtraction facts to 18. Doubles Doubles + One Nine Trick Number in the Middle Touch Math Make A Ten 1-3 Digit Addition and Subtraction without Regrouping
