Grade 2
The second grade curriculum spends a tremendous amount of time reviewing skills that they have developed in first grade. A student starts to mature in the classroom through focusing longer on tasks presented and reading skills that are strengthen through practicing not only in school but at home too. Every day there is some type of work involving reading and writing. Both the teacher and student work together to create strategies in helping the student not only read fluently but actually understand what they are reading. Our reading program really gives a great overview each week of writing/grammar and phonics skills plus many other resources including supplement readers. Through writing prompts, journal writing, and even our work with poetry the student is able to practice with written words and the ability to express their thoughts completely.
