2nd Grade 

Second Grade is primarily a self-contained classroom program. Daily classroom studies include: reading, language arts, spelling, mathematics, and social studies. The development of listening skills is emphasized in all areas of the curriculum. Students meet with specialist teachers for the following subjects each week: art (two 40-minute periods), music (two 30-minute periods), physical education (five 30-minute periods), woodshop (one 30-minute period), Spanish (two 30-minute periods), library (one 40-minute period), laboratory science (three 30-minute periods), and technology (one 40-minute period).

A classroom associate helps with individual and small group work in reading, writing, and mathematics. A Learning Specialist and a Math Specialist are available to work with small groups of students or with individuals, as needed. Approximately 15 minutes of homework in spelling, language arts, or mathematics are expected each weeknight, in addition to 15 minutes of nightly reading.

Children receive four progress reports throughout the year. Teachers and parents meet for a conference at the end of the first and third quarters. The reports include a checklist of progress in academic skills, work habits, and citizenship. At the end of the semesters in January and June, the assessments also include a narrative report.
