Develop social communication such as distinguishing between asking and telling.
The intent of 2.1E is to move students from guided examples to independent work with Social communication.
With 2.1E, Grade 2 students practice Social communication in multiple representations and contexts.
Students may rely on procedures without reasoning or mix key terms. Build in quick oral explanations, error analysis, and vocabulary supports tied to 2.1E.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to 2.1E.
Standard 2.1E describes the essential skills and understandings for Social communication in Grade 2. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Social communication, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
