As students journey through 2nd grade, focus on literacy is amplified. Students begin reading to learn, developing into independent readers and writers with effective communication skills. We focus on fluency, accuracy, comprehension, and analysis of literature and informational text. After completing this grade, students are prepared to learn more complex science and history-social science concepts.
Through biographical research, students examine the lives of heroes, and the qualities that enable people to achieve their goals. Students explore the impact they have on their families and communities, and how they have been shaped in turn.
Students classify materials like scientists. With weekly hands-on experiments, students work collaboratively to design and build solutions involving types of matter. They apply Common Core Language Arts skills to increase comprehension of Next Generation Science content.
Students continue exploring rules and laws, examining responsibilities in following and creating them. Conflict resolution, and how people interact, are key areas of focus for college and career readiness.
Shaping the Earth
Students examine geological processes, reproducing events in hands-on experiments to either prevent them or minimize their impact. They apply Common Core Language Arts skills directly to Next Generation Science Standards as they recount formation sequences.
Economics: Producer to Consumer
Students research the sources of goods and products they consume on a regular basis. While learning about personal nutrition, students learn the basic economics of food production.
Plants in Habitats
Students learn the tricks plants use to move to new areas. Through multiple hands-on experiments integrating Common Core Language Arts skills, students become botanists.

Wanafunzi wa darasa la pili wanapoanza kusoma, wanahitajika kuwa na uwezo wa kusoma na kuandika. Wanafunzi huanza kusoma ili kujifunza, wakikua kuwa wasomaji na waandishi wa kujitegemea wenye ustadi mzuri wa kuwasiliana. Sisi kuzingatia fluency, usahihi, uelewa, na uchambuzi wa fasihi na maandishi ya habari. Baada ya kumaliza darasa hili, wanafunzi ni tayari kujifunza sayansi tata zaidi na historia-sayansi ya kijamii dhana. Kupitia utafiti wa wasifu, wanafunzi huchunguza maisha ya mashujaa, na sifa ambazo huwawezesha watu kufikia malengo yao. Wanafunzi kuchunguza athari wanazo juu ya familia zao na jamii, na jinsi wao wamekuwa umbo katika zamu. Wanafunzi hushughulikia vitu kama wanasayansi. Kwa majaribio ya kila juma, wanafunzi hufanya kazi kwa kushirikiana kubuni na kujenga suluhisho zinazohusisha aina za vitu. Wao kutumia Common Core Lugha Sanaa ujuzi wa kuongeza uelewa wa Next Generation Sayansi maudhui. Wanafunzi wanaendelea kuchunguza sheria na sheria, kuchunguza majukumu katika kufuata na kuunda yao. Ufumbuzi wa migogoro, na jinsi watu wanavyoingiliana, ni maeneo muhimu ya kuzingatia kwa ajili ya chuo kikuu na utayari wa kazi. Shaping the Earth Wanafunzi kuchunguza michakato ya kijiolojia, kuzalisha matukio katika majaribio ya mikono-juu ya ama kuzuia yao au kupunguza athari zao. Wao kutumia Common Core Lugha Sanaa ujuzi moja kwa moja kwa Next Generation Sayansi Viwango kama wao recount muundo mfululizo. Uchumi: Mtayarishaji kwa Mtumiaji Wanafunzi utafiti vyanzo vya bidhaa na bidhaa wao kutumia kwa ukawaida. Wakati wa kujifunza juu ya lishe ya kibinafsi, wanafunzi hujifunza uchumi wa msingi wa uzalishaji wa chakula. Mimea katika Makao Wanafunzi hujifunza mbinu ambazo mimea hutumia kuhamia maeneo mapya. Kupitia majaribio mengi ya mikono ya kuunganisha ujuzi wa Common Core Language Arts, wanafunzi wanakuwa wataalamu wa mimea. Kuchunguza Madarasa Mengine
