In second grade, we are learning to become better thinkers, better readers and writers, and better problem solvers. We are involved in a variety of learning experiences that reflect the many different ways we learn. Our curriculum includes many hands-on activities as well as enrichment projects. We learn to work as individuals as well as cooperatively with our classmates. In all we do, we encourage each other to be the best we can be spiritually, academically, and socially.
