Second grade is a classroom community, based upon respect for self and others. Students grow in independence as they learn to be responsible and accountable for their learning.
This year is filled with spiritual growth as students participate in the preparation of receiving the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Communion. They are paired with a Sixth Grader “Guardian Angel” to attend mass and work on projects together, allowing students to grow both spiritually and socially.
Academic subjects studied in the second grade include reading, mathematics, science/health, social studies, Religion, phonics, handwriting, as well as written and oral language. Technology is integrated throughout the curriculum through use of the reading and math textbook publishers’ websites, an interactive whiteboard, and use of the Computer Lab to complete thematic projects using Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Publisher.
This grade’s curriculum is enhanced by visiting “Specials” classes forty minutes per week. These classes include library, physical education, art, music, chorus and Spanish.
