Second Grade

In second grade important language arts skills such as reading comprehension, word attack, and critical thinking are stressed. Time is spent on writing with increased emphasis on spelling, composition, and grammar.

In math, the students will build on their knowledge of math basics using the Everyday Mathematics program. Students will work on place value, money, time, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, geometry, fractions, measurement and decimals. Concepts are introduced and revisited continuously throughout the year.

Science, social studies, and health are integrated with other areas of the curriculum. Common topics include map and globe skills, Ancient Egypt, Africa and it's geography, plants, geology, and simple machines.

Parent/teacher conferences are scheduled two times a year, November and March, to discuss your child's progress. End of the year conferences are optional and may be requested by the parent or teacher. We expect children to be respectful, polite, responsible and safe at all times. WE accomplish this goal through our daily interaction and the establishment of a sense of community within our classrooms and school.
