2nd Grade

Second Grade is an exciting year in which children embark on the challenges and love of Reading and Math, and gain independence and self-confidence through personal achievements. Most importantly, it’s a year of spiritual growth through the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.  Our goal is for each child to be taught in a nurturing environment in which positive reinforcement fosters a love for learning in the classroom. 

Religion:
Our Religion series teaches the importance of Jesus in the children’s lives and focuses on the Sacraments and the Mass. The children learn about the loving compassion Jesus has for them as they prepare for Reconciliation and continue their spiritual journey as they prepare for the sacrament of First Holy Communion.  The children not only learn about their faith, but also how to live their faith and share it with others. Family Life prepares the students to live safe and healthy, moral and loving lives as members of the Christian family.

Language Arts:
Wonders is designed to foster a love of reading in all children. Through exploration of texts and daily development of their skills as readers, writers, speakers, and active listeners, students experience the power of literacy. 

Math:
The Savvas enVision Math program is grounded in problem-based and visual learning that enables students to gain a deeper understanding of math concepts.

Science:
Students will explore the topics: Landscape Shapes, Materials from the Land, How Landscapes Change, & Biodiversity in Habitats, learning more about the world around them.

Social Studies:
"The World Around Us" Series invites students to step out into the world – to become informed, responsible citizens and deepen their knowledge of the world.

Service Projects:
To teach and inspire stewardship in Second Grade, the children are asked to complete a minimum of 2 "Kindness Hours" each trimester. Second-grade students will also participate in collecting donations for the Orange Rescue Mission as their grade-level stewardship project.
