Your second grader is looking for the “why” behind everything. Our second-grade curriculum meets this curiosity through exciting adventure tales that build writing skills. Fun math mysteries encourage second graders to learn about shapes, capacity, time, and graphing while science units introduce them to matter, energy, and balance in nature. In social studies, your child will learn more about themselves while understanding their connection to the community.
Second graders are moving from "learning to read" to "reading to learn." Time4Learning develops this natural progression by extending comprehension activities and building reading fluency through animated lessons.
At Time4Learning second graders explore:
- Different types of literature make for interesting reading
- Reading is for a reason and helps us build understanding
- Organization of thought is developed through writing our opinion, narratives, or research.
- Phonics continues to play an important part in building reading fluency and confidence.
Second graders are beginning to understand cause and effect and can solve more complex problems. We harness this ability in the second grade and challenge learners to build on their existing numbers sense through the use of fractions, geometry, measurement, and spatial sense as they apply to real-world situations.
At Time4Learning Second Graders discover that:
- There are four types of operations that we can apply to numbers
- Algebra is often used in practical ways for every day life.
- Geometry includes not only 2D but also 3D shapes.
- Graphing and data can help us understand and measure events
Second grader's fine motor skills are more developed and they are able to conduct more detailed scientific inquiry through science tools, experiments, and hands on activities. The Time4Learning curriculum grows their knowledge through the research-based 5E Model: Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend, Evaluate.
At Time4Learning second graders discover that:
- Scientific study includes exploration of chemical and physical changes
- Fast or slow, objects, people, animals, liquids, and even gases move.
- Weathering and erosion change Earth’s features over time.
- Cycles of change happen as the Earth spins on its axis while orbiting around the sun.
Second graders are developing the ability to compare and understand diverse perspectives which enables them to understand their community and the world around them. Learners will meet the Quest team and their furry sidekick Lucy! Students will take part in comic book quests that use inquiry based learning to find answers to "Quest" Challenges and earn motivational badges.
At Time4Learning second graders discover:
- What a community is
-Understanding the land and maps
-Community citizens and workers
