In our second grade classes, the children think creatively about the world around them and are given many experiences to explore, discover, question, interact, and learn. Through hands-on, creative lessons provided to them in the classroom, we spend the year reinforcing the skills learned in first grade, while extending and enriching this knowledge through second grade concepts.
Throughout the year, the children learn the necessary skills that build as they progress through the grades. They are taught how to negotiate, compromise, and empathize with their peers and how to handle certain social situations with confidence, compassion, and fairness. The children are encouraged to do their best each day and are challenged to rise above our expectations.
