In Dublin City Schools, we believe that all students deserve a mathematical learning experience centered around communication, collaboration, thinking and problem solving.

Our Math Curriculum uses the Bridges in Mathematics Program.

Grade Two Language Arts instruction builds on the foundational literacy skills that were introduced at the Kindergarten and Grade One levels. Standards include reading literature and informational text, phonics, word study, vocabulary, grammar, fluent reading, producing narrative, informational and argumentative writings, speaking and listening. The Language Arts standards are explicitly taught and integrated within all subject areas throughout the day. Grade Two students in Dublin City Schools will be introduced to a wide variety of critical thinking, creativity and communication skills that will enhance literacy learning.

Observations of the Environment

• Long and short-term weather changes occur due to changes in energy.
• The atmosphere is made up of air
• Living things cause change on earth.
• Forces change the motion of an object.
• Water is present in the air.
• Some kinds of individuals that once lived on Earth have completely disappeared, although they were something like others that are alive today.

Work serves as an organizing theme for the second grade. Students learn about jobs today and long ago. They use biographies, primary sources and artifacts as clues to the past. They deepen their knowledge of diverse cultures and their roles as citizens.
