Most children entering second grade are beginning readers and writers who need continuing support in their use of language. Also, most children are becoming more independent in their ability to read.
Writing is an extension of reading.
Teachers make sure that children write every day and see themselves as authors. The Mathematics program in grade two builds on what the child has already learned. Students develop a stronger number sense and gain additional experiences in using math in the problem solving process. A large part of the social studies curriculum consists of learning about families, cities, states, countries and continents. They also learn about and celebrate various multicultural holidays.
