Welcome to Second Grade!
I am so excited to be a part of your child's journey this year, as we discover what it means to be chosen by God and helping each other get to Heaven. Here is a peek into our year.
In Religion, we will learn about the many gifts God has prepared for us through creation and the Sacraments. We will learn that prayer is our way to talk to God, and that our friends the saints are holy men and women who lived virtuous and loving lives on earth. Most importantly, we will focus on preparing for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Communion.
In Reading, we will learn about making connections, predictions, and inferences. We will detail the sequence of stories, as well as identify problem and solution. We will be learning how to be confident in our reading skills. We will identify features of a nonfiction text and how they help us understand what we are reading.
In Phonics, we will use the UFLI program to help blend and segment sounds so we can read and spell.
In Language, we will learn about nouns, verbs, adjectives, ABC order and contractions. We will focus on writing in complete sentences that will lead into paragraphs.
In Social Studies, we will learn about democracy and government, historical thinking, geography, cultures, and economics.
In Math, we will be learning about addition & subtraction concepts. We will be using a variety of strategies to help us add & subtract. We will also learn about place value, time, measurement, and shapes.
