Subjects Denson

English Language Arts

Reading:

In Second Grade, we primarily use the McGraw Hill Reading curriculum. To become a successful reader, students need to read 20 minutes at least 5 days each week. This is the single most important thing you can do to help your child to become an independent reader and to be prepared to learn ALL subjects in school.

Writing:

Writing is a great way for students to solidify and think about their learning.  We write across the curriculum.  Each student has a writing journal that they will be writing in multiple times each week.

Every Friday students will have three language arts tests:  Comprehension, Vocabulary, and Spelling.

 Math

In Second Grade, your child will be learning from the Advantage Math Program.  Additionally, students need to practice Math skills on i-Ready 20 minutes a day, 4 days each week. I-Ready is a self-paced learning digital program that assigns lessons based on your child's ability.  By now your child should be fluent in basic math facts, addition and subtraction from 0-20.  Children that are cannot quickly recall basic math facts need additional practice at home.
