The teachers have a certain amount of leeway to respond to their own and their class's interests. Therefore, one section of Grade Two studies early cultures with specific focus on Ancient Egypt. In a joint project with Art, students have created Egyptian jewelry. The other section of Grade Two explores communities through the ages focusing on prehistoric, Ancient Greek, medieval, colonial, pioneer, modern, and futuristic communities. Both classes close the year with Map Skills for Today .
Students create map and develop an understanding of basic elements of map reading.
