Second
grade is very busy! Our language arts focus is reading fluency and
comprehension, as well as varied writing genres that include opinion,
expository, and narrative. We work on fluent communication such as
writing complete sentences, compound sentences, paragraphs, journal
assignments, and long responses that include grade-level expected
language mechanics.
Additionally, we are deepening our
understanding of how to apply varied mathematical strategies to problem
solve when working with basic facts, place value, two & three digit
addition & subtraction, geometry & patterns, measurement, and
money & time. America’s past, geography, economics, and civics are
all units of study. Changing matter, recycling, living things, life
cycles, energy, forces & motion, magnetism, and human body are
themes discussed throughout the year.
Yes, indeed, we are busy in second grade!
