Special emphasis is placed on addition and subtraction facts to 18 and regrouping in both addition and subtraction. Science and Social Studies are both very well received at this grade level. In Social Studies, the students learn about their neighborhood, a selection of famous people, and some elementary map skills. These are part of the weekly schedule for students at this grade level with an emphasis on acquisition of 'life skills' and fine arts appreciation. Second grade report cards have the same format as those used in first grade.
Second grade is a very important year.
We encourage parental support and help. We invite close parent and teacher involvement. Homework is assigned to the students one to four time per week. Homework will be assigned typically Monday through Thursday. Students should expect to work on the homework anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes.
