Social Studies In Second Grade
| Math | Science | Social Studies | Language Arts | Reading |
The Second Grade program encourages students to develop a connection with people—both past and present — by learning about how people make contributions to society. Through the integration of civic awareness, geography, history, and basic economic concepts, these connections can be achieved. Students will be involved in using good research, reading and hearing relevant literature, working in cooperative groups, and participating in related arts education activities. A special emphasis is placed on the role of the individual in an increasingly independent world.
