Second Grade Curriculum
Second grade students transition to a more independent learning environment. Greater responsibility and independence is taught though managing assignments, engaging with complex texts, and learning from mistakes. Comprehension, reading fluency, and writing takes center stage as students apply prior learning.
Second graders at Tipton-Rosemark Academy can plan to participate in many fun activities such as community helper’s project, reader’s theater, researching animal habitats and creating a cylindrical animal, pumpkin experiments, and weaving placemats for Thanksgiving to name just a few.
