In this lesson, students will be reading HFW, word family words, vocabulary words, etc. and will race their ozobot to see who can finish reading the words first. This activity is an adaptation from a free TPT lesson and can be adapted for any purpose. This activity is best used as a small group activity and can be referenced later as a fluency assessment (If used as a small group assignment, students will need multiple days to complete).Additional modifications: Students code the ozobot to read the desired words (all of the -at words).EL & DL Modifications:- Provide the translations or visuals for the codes for students who need added supports reading.- Provide checkpoints for student monitoring during the assessment.- Provide end of the day check-ins for students to ensure work is completed.- For advanced students (as well as older grades) use more challenging words.- For students needing additional assistance, use letters or words appropriate for their level.

In Grade 2, Module 2, students move beyond review of Grade 1 spelling patterns and skills. Now familiar instructional practices serve as a vehicle for introducing new spelling patterns, affixes, high-frequency words (regularly and irregularly spelled, including contractions), and fluency practice.

Students engage in deep word analysis, learning spelling rules to help them generalize spelling patterns for vowel teams and affixes, but also learning that there are many words in English for which no rules apply (example: words like "turn," "her," and "bird," which all have the /er/ sound but are all spelled with different vowels). Students begin to understand that they must learn these types of words through repeated readings and spellings and continue to commit them to memory, also relying on context when a word is read in connected text.

By the end of Module 2, students should be able apply learned spelling patterns such as "oi," "oy," "ou," and "ow" to decoding and encoding words. Students will also be able to read, spell, and understand contractions using "am," "is," "not," "would," and "have." Students will continue to decode and encode words with common prefixes ("re-," "un-," "pre-") and suffixes ("-ed," "-ing," "-er"), beginning to tackle words with both. Students will be introduced and should be able to decode words containing word endings such as "-tion" and "-sion." Lastly, students will continue to work on and reflect on their growing ability to fluently read second-grade

In this folktales unit, second graders explore Spider, or Anansi, folktales from Western Africa. Folktales have been used for generations to teach important lessons about human nature and the consequences of good and bad behavior in a way that is clear, convincing, and easily relatable. Through reading and learning about Spider, students will be able to debate and analyze what it means to be a good person and the importance of hard work and cooperation. Studying the actions of Spider, a character with whom it is easy to connect and empathize, allows students to begin to develop a sense of moral behavior and understanding of the world around them by learning from the actions of others. It is our hope that this unit, in connection with others in the sequence, will help students begin to develop a strong moral compass and understanding of what constitutes “right” and “wrong.”
