Grade 2
In the Second Grade Classroom
In Literacy we explore phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Our daily whole group lessons teach a specific reading strategy. The students then put that strategy into practice in independent reading (at their reading level) or in small group instruction with the teacher. In writing, we plan, draft, share, evaluate, revise, and edit.
Second grade students use hands-on materials to explore math. They practice using language to talk about their thinking. Students are given daily opportunities to collaborate with their peers to explore, talk and think together.
In Math during second grade, your child will learn to:
- Count within 1,000.
- Understand place value in three-digit numbers.
- Compare three-digit numbers.
- Add and subtract within 1,000.
- Measurement
- Word problems involving money.
- Picture and bar graphs.
We enjoy incorporating the arts, social studies, and science into our daily learning.
Families are an important part of our educational community. Let us know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
