Taught by Mrs. Linda Jackson
Religion
During the second trimester, the second grade will continue to
prepare for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion.
Parents are encouraged to attend all meetings and Experience Days
to fully participate in their children’s preparation as well as to
regularly attend Mass on Sundays so that students become accustomed
to practicing their faith in the Church community.
Language Arts
The second grade has began their second reader, Going Places,
later in the trimester, and concentrate on the areas of making predictions,
following directions, and classification, as well as continuing the study
of vowel digraphs, consonant clusters, word referents, and alphabetical
order. Creative writing will continue to be explored as well as the
practice of writing the answers to questions in complete and thoughtful
sentences. Students will also apply sentence structure rules and
discover the parts of speech.
Foreign Language
Italian is now being taught to our second graders.
Math
Counting money and telling time will be the spotlights
of the second trimester in Math. Students will also regularly
practice their addition and subtraction facts to hone these
skills as they get ready for two-digit addition. Problem-solving
will still be addressed.
Social Studies
The second trimester units in Social Studies will begin continue
with knowing about one’s family and cover the areas of ancestors,
immigration, and family traditions. We will later explore the unit,
“Living in Our Country.”
Science
Our second graders have just finished studying about the earth’s
natural resources and how they are used. They will continue with the
examination of the earth long ago, including the topics of fossils
and dinosaurs.
