We take this time as a class to meet and review our day. We also use this time to share out interests and help foster relationships with one another.

Second graders will read a great deal of nonfiction and a variety of literature including fables and folktales from many cultures. In second grade there is a strong focus on skills and strategies that will lead to increased student comprehension of the material they have read. Students use these strategies to better comprehend their reading in all content areas.

Social Studies Concept Focuses:
