Reading Second graders begin to read more with accuracy and fluency. Having a firmer grasp on phonics, second graders begin more complex word study. They begin to read longer, more complex text, including chapter books. Second graders become more independent learners as they read and respond to a variety of genres through writing.

Math The Second grade Mathematics Curriculum provides instruction to build mathematical concepts, procedures, and skills. It provides a balance of computational fluency, procedural fluency, and problem solving. These types of activities help build mathematical literacy for students to be successful with meeting and exceeding the Georgia Standards of Excellence.

Math Second Grade Math curriculum focuses on four critical areas: Extending understanding of base ten Building fluency with addition and subtraction Describing and analyzing shapes Developing multiplication

Science and Social Studies Science and Social Studies are integrated during Math and ELA instructional blocks.

Students should come to school every day unless they are sick. Monthly perfect attendance celebrations.

Field Trips are in the works! Expect information coming soon! Each semester we will go on at least one field trip. This semester, we have a Fernbank field trip scheduled for September. As well as a Native American Festival and Pow Wow at Stone Mountain in November.

Some opportunities to volunteer this year will include: Periodically, we need parent volunteers in the classroom or on field trips.
