2nd Grade: Our Approach


Second grade helps students transition from learning to read to reading to learn.  Students continue to develop literacy and comprehension skills in order to use reading as a means to learn about other subjects.  Students also are encouraged to strengthen their writing skills as a means of expressing their thoughts and ideas.  Exploration, problem-solving, reading and math skills are all put to use in the science and math curriculum as students continue to grow in each of these skill areas.


​What sets our 2nd Grade classroom apart:


  • FOCUS ON READING: Small group reading tailors and adjusts books and activities to each child’s reading level while 5th grade reading buddies also provide one-on-one attention to develop reading skills.  The class also comes together to showcase skills during reader’s theater class plays.

  • LEARNING TO EXPRESS: Poetry portfolios and a class poetry slam, personal narrative storybooks, and persuasion letters presented to a real audience all challenge students to use writing as a means of expression.

  • INDIVIDUAIZED LEARNING: Espark on ipads is a program that provides differentiated instruction in math and reading with fun videos and games at the student’s level.

  • LEARNING GOD’S TRUTH: Students are encouraged to hide God’s word in their hearts with multiple ways of learning the Bible.  They practice a weekly Bible verse by singing a song, acting out the verse and drawing visualizations.

  • STAYING FOCUSED: Brain breaks are a fun classroom tradition that gives students an opportunity to get up and move around.  Students are given a few minutes to dance and jump around  to refresh their minds before continuing in another lesson.
