P.T. O Hinckley Elementary school currently has three second grade classrooms. Second grade builds upon concepts introduced in first grade. Our language arts curriculum incorporates a multi-faceted approach. Language development and experimental writing are used in conjunction with a strong phonetic focus and individualized spelling lists.
Poetry is used on a regular basis to strenghten all language skills.
Some of the poetry activities include memorization, choral readings, raps, charts, writings and presentations. Math consists of a vast variety of hands-on manipulative activities. Cursive handwriting is introduced in Second Grade. This transition occurs in the second half of our school year. Science themes include animals, sound, heat, light, and weather.
