Grade Two

Second Grade

         Second grade is a year to build on the foundation from first grade. In reading, the students are exposed to many different genres in literature.  Students learn and develop strategies to become better readers.  Spelling, grammar, and writing are all part of the Harcourt Trophies Reading Program. We also strongly encourage students to participate in the Accelerated Reader program.

        In Social Studies, students learn about maps and directions along with the discovery of the Americas (early explorers), the Native Americans, the Europeans coming to America, and finally the settlements becoming colonies.

        The FOSS science units in second grade are:  Air and Weather, Solids and Liquids, and Insects.

        During the year, the students enjoy many “extras” to enhance their education.  Art Moms and Dads provide wonderful experiences for the students to show their creative side.  Field trips provide educational opportunities outside the classroom.  Cultural Arts programs provide learning experiences beyond the curriculum.
