Second Grade

Welcome to the wonderful world of second grade!  It is our goal to help your child to do their personal best academically and socially.  The second grade curriculum expands upon the basic skills taught in first grade.  In addition, we strive to develop responsible students with good communication  and study skills.  It is our hope that the students will apply the skills taught in second grade throughout their academic lives and beyond.

Major Skills Area

  • developing comprehension skills while reading independently
  • becoming a young author through writing summaries, letters, and narratives
  • regrouping in addition and subtraction with three digit numbers
  • mastering the multiplication facts of 2's, 5's, and 10's
For more information see the California Content Standards
 for Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, and Science.
 

Homework Policy

Homework is required Monday through Thursday.  In addition to the daily assignment in math, spelling, poetry, or reading comprehension 15-20 minutes of reading is expected.  Daily reading logs need to be signed by an adult for reading assignments to be considered complete. Weekend reading is strongly encouraged.  Bishop School is once again participating in the Governor's Reading program.  We ask that the parents help their child keep track of extra books by filling out the Governor's reading log.
