Second Grade
Second grade students
continue to build
reading skills through
our Houghton Mifflin’s

Arts Program, Wright
Groups Guided and
Leveled Reading Program, and
the Write Source Writing

skills are stressed
through daily oral and
silent reading (SRA). Writing
skills emphasize
sentence structure,
correct punctuation, and
rules of grammar.
Writing assignments
include journal entries,
story summaries, poetry,
book reports, and
creative writing. The
Everyday Math and Sadlier Oxford Programs
include addition and
subtraction facts to 18,
place value, geometry,
fractions, measurement,
regrouping,
multiplication, division
and problem solving.
Social Studies include
patriotic units, major
holidays with emphasis
on cultures around the
world, Asian Cultures,
Flat Stanley, geography,
Alaskan pen pals, the
Iditarod race, and the
study of Beatrix
Potter’s works which
integrates all subjects
in the second grade
curriculum. Science
instruction emphasizes
geology, the solar
system, invertebrates,
and experiments. Field
