Second Grade Superstars

Learning is running wild in second grade. The second graders this year are having fun learning English grammar using catchy jingles about organization and the parts of speech. The jingles are fun and help each student remember important information about the parts of speech. Ask your student about Quigley and a song about study skills and organization will be sure to follow. Second grade has also been enjoying our new science curriculum. We kicked off the year with a unit on plants. There have been lots of hands-on activities and crafts to reinforce the concepts being covered. The community has been our focus in social studies. The students learned about a variety of community services such as the post office, the fire station and the library. We had a visit from Fireman Shuster, who is a fireman for a local fire department. He shared important information with the students about fire safety and what to do in case of an emergency. The highlight for the students was being able to get a closer look at the equipment and try on some of the gear.
