Second Grade has a year-long theme of "Community" and focuses on the concepts of Structure and Custom. Second graders come well prepared for the serious independent and cooperative learning fostered during the year. We begin with building a community “wall” filled with the collective strengths of the children. Students see that they are “each unique and together complete”. They investigate how physical and organizational structures help the members of a community grow and prosper. They examine the customs of their families, the school community structures, and the organization of their neighborhood meet the needs of each member and help to make the groups successful.
