Second Grade

Some of My Favorite Stories

The Recess Queen

By Alexis O'Neill and Laura Huliska-Beith

What do you do if you have someone who acts like Jean? What if you have no friends? How do you make a new friend? What is a friend anyway, and what makes someone a good friend?

The Night Before Second Grade

By Amy Wummer

How did you feel on the night before second grade? What were you excited about? Was there anything you were nervous about? How would you feel if your dad was your teacher? That would be pretty cool!

Be Kind

By Pat Zietlow Miller

How does it feel when your friends laugh at you? What makes someone a good friend? Do you remember what empathy means?

Curriculum

In our Second Grade Character Education classes, we will be using the Second Step curriculum. This curriculum teaches skills in four areas:

Skills for Learning
Empathy
Emotion Management
Problem Solving

We play games, listen to stories, watch music videos, complete worksheets, and sometimes we have Homelinks, which are short homework sheets meant to be completed with a grown up.

You can create a parent/guardian account by going to the website and using the activation key:

SSP2 FAMI LY72

If you created one for first grade last year, this one is a little different. You can have more than one grade level associated with your account if you have more than one student!
