Quarter 4
Positivity Project
Positivity Project
The Positivity Project is a comprehensive, evidence-based positive character education curriculum serving 800+ PreK–12 schools across the United States and internationally. At the core of our work are positive psychology’s 24 character strengths, which teaches students actionable ways to build positive relationships in their lives. By teaching students to focus on character strengths—both in themselves and others—we create a culture of positivity that extends beyond the classroom. P2 helps students build self-awareness, empathy, and the ability to connect with others, leading to long-lasting improvements in school culture and individual student outcomes.

Letterland
Letterland
Letterland was created to teach phonics using a story-based approach. The story logic engages students leading to long term retention of concepts. What's more, Letterland is wonderfully multi-sensory. It activates every learning channel through music, actions, alliteration, movement, song, art, games and role-play.
In Quarter 4, we will finish with ending changes (doubling with -ed and -ing, comparatives/superlatives), contractions, ways to separate multi-syllable words, and Candle -le.

Life Cycles (Structures & Functions of Living Organisms) + Genetics
By the end of Life Cycles...
Students know that animals experience a cycle of life which begins with birth, then a period of time in which the animal develops into an adult. At adulthood, animals reproduce in order to sustain their species. In nature, all animals are programmed to age and eventually die. The details of the life cycle are different for specific animals.
Students know that different animals spend varying periods of time in each stage of the life cycle and that some animals have few stages, while others have several. Students know that animals might look the same, similar, or completely different at specific stages of development. Students know that animals may have varied needs at different stages of development, and may occupy unique habitats according to these needs.
By the end of Genetics...
Students know that plants and animals resemble their parents in appearance, needs, life processes, and interactions with the environment, even while being unique.
Students know that groups of organisms of the same type have characteristics in common as well as characteristics that may vary.
Social Studies
Geography + Economics
In second grade, the focus of learning will shift to learning about America, as a part of the world and as a unique place within that world. Students will learn about America and how it fits into the global community. The intent of this course is that students will complete the second grade understanding that there are many factors that contribute to the development of our national identity.
In the disciplinary lens of Geography students will understand that we are individuals who are influenced by and contribute to our surrounding environment.
Through the lens of Economics students will learn how economic decisions and resources are affected by and shape the nation.
