Common Core Texts for 2nd Grade: Unit 1--The Seasons (Fiction)

If you have looked at the curriculum map in the book Common Core Curriculum Maps you may be surprised by some of the titles you see.  The titles that are recommended for second grade teachers to use during the first unit (Seasons) is an interesting mix of fiction, poetry, and non-fiction.  In all, if you take a look at the book, you will see a return to the use of 'old stand-bys' of yesteryear as the suggested literature for units shows a return to the oldies-but-goodies such as Alice in Wonderland, Charlotte's Web, Little Women, etc.

There are so many books suggested that I decided that I would break the books for the first unit down to a fiction post and a non-fiction post.  I hope that you find this list and the links to Amazon.com helpful.  At the end you will find my url for my newest board on Pinterest which will house the titles needed for second grade.




Suggested Works to have on hand in 2nd grade:

Henry and Mudge and the Snowman Plan by Cynthia Rylant and Sucie Stevenson






Snowballs by Lois Ehlert



Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert



The Days of Summer (Eve Buntin and William Low)

Hope this is helpful.  As always, enjoy!

  2. With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems
    of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of unique
    content I've either written myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any techniques to help prevent content from being stolen? I'd definitely appreciate it.

  5. Hi! Quick question that's entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My site looks weird when viewing from my iphone. I'm trying to find
    a theme or plugin that might be able to correct this problem.
    If you have any suggestions, please share. Appreciate it!

  7. Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this site. It's simple, yet effective.

    A lot of times it's challenging to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and visual appearance. I must say you've done a excellent job with this.

    In addition, the blog loads very fast for me
    on Safari. Exceptional Blog!

  8. As we all know, looks can be deceiving, so I decided to
    try out the question tool for myself. Spend some time to design
    a good-looking 404 page, site offline page, etc.
    The more doors you have the more chances of people finding it.
    Out of those 6 keywords, further reduce
    the number of keywords. Since Google organic rank can
    bring in thousands of potential customers, search engine
    position service firms have made a business of promising
    high positions in search engine results pages. The algorithms are not known publicly, but one thing is
    certain, is the search engine websites that the information is
    relevant to the purpose of the preferred site. Domain Authority is
    influenced by:. There are many tools online to help you research relevant keywords, such as the Google Adwords Keyword Tool.
    It focuses on networking and impeccable website maintenance.
    Numerous SEO services over competitive price
    for outsourcing your site online, but, would it be best to hire the locals if the nature
    of your business limits to your local as well. Search engine optimization
    is necessary for online businesses because it lets your website get found.
    The concepts make use of the current social networking sites, which are very popular among the online audience.

    Moving your hosting to a nearby country such as
    Canada or an offshore Caribbean host may provide the
    same latency times, but reduce the risk of having your website brought down by a mistake.
    No - you name some of your images "breast. Create a general, high-level category in which you want to manage all phrases'for example 'global,' 'online,' 'channel,' and so on. SEO companies may only offer this type of service. 4) Managing your online business. When a person enters a keyword into the search box of a particular search engine such as Google, there will be scores of results showing out which are a result of a search engine algorithm devised by that particular search engine. You need the keyword and phrase in both title and description. Never post a half edited article, and never settle for less than your best.

  15. In short, they become obsessed by the grass is always greener syndrome
    where everyone else's relationship and their own past lovers are elevated to the status of perfection. I even find myself backing away from recommending other resources which, in the past, I would have shared willingly. ' The Rooneys are a great family who
    turned a football franchise into a traveling nation full of fans across the United States.

In 2005, the QI Group acquired a UK-based independent telecommunications provider with a strong background in providing advanced communications solutions and technology in the United Kingdom. In an effort to counter the lack of support from Microsoft, an SVG plug-in for Internet Explorer was developed and supported by Adobe. A far cry from the land of milk and honey you may think.

  16. The only negative thing that can be said about the
    movie is its relatively poor transition between different scenes,
    but that is not uncommon in documentaries. Here's another lightweight throwaway flick based on a true story, but held down by as few underpinnings as possible, despite a fantastic all-star cast and one of my favorite directors of all time (Stephen Frears, whose body of work includes Dangerous Liaisons, High Fidelity, and The Queen). This is not wedding photography and not designed to replace your Photo Booth For Wedding photographer but rather to supplement your photographic memories of your wedding day and provide a special gift for all those attending your party.

  17. Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is important and everything. Nevertheless
    imagine if you added some great graphics or video clips to
    give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images
    and videos, this blog could certainly be one of the greatest in its niche.
    Awesome blog!
