- Math: Second-grade math topics studied include addition and subtraction, number sentences, place value, telling time and coin value. The students will also use critical thinking skills to decipher and understand various graph types and apply them to real-world situations.
- Literacy and Language Arts: Our literacy program includes strategies and skills in reading and writing, with an emphasis on understanding the elements of each. Students will explore fiction and nonfiction texts while focusing on sight words, grammar, comprehension, and fluency.
- Science: Hands-on projects and experiments help students understand the way that matter changes when heat is applied. Students then study the sun, wind, and water to develop an understanding of the impact these areas have on life. They formulate arguments based on their experiments to illustrate that organisms need a source of energy, air, water, and certain temperature conditions to survive.
- Social studies: Through the study of geography and economics, our students learn how their world is interconnected globally. They develop an understanding of the world around them so they can understand how other cultures and civilizations have influenced who we are as a community, state, and Nation. United States history, world history, and civics are also taught in an integrated, thematic manner with English Language Arts.
