Second
grade is an active grade, and we would like to acquaint you with our
course of study. We will be making a transition from manuscript or
printing to cursive writing. In math the skills of carrying and
borrowing will be introduced, and the addition and subtraction facts
must be mastered. We will work with the students in the areas of
reading, creative writing and English, spelling, social studies,
science, and health. Report card grades will be given in reading,
language arts (English), math, spelling, and handwriting. Every week
there will be a classroom newsletter listing the spelling words, reading
vocabulary words, homework assignments, tests and test dates, and
announcements.
As
you can see, second grade will be a productive year in your child’s
school experience. Therefore, it is extremely important for every
student to get off to a good start! Of utmost importance is good
attendance, completion of assigned classroom work, the return of all
homework, and the development of good listening, study, and work habits.
