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 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. Learners strengthen addition, subtraction, measuring, and data analysis and apply these skills to real world problems.
At Time4Learning, second graders discover that:
- Three-digit numbers can be represented in different ways, including using models, number lines, words, and equations
- Operations on either side of an equal sign must represent the same amount
- Figures can be split into equal shares
- Information presented in a graph can be used to solve problems about the data
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 learn that:
- Different types of literature make for interesting reading
- Reading helps us build understanding and perspective
- Organization of thought is developed through writing down our opinion, narratives, or research
- Phonics helps build reading confidence
Learners will meet the "Quest Kids" and their furry sidekick, Lucy. Students take part in comic book adventures that use inquiry-based learning to find answers to solve each quest and earn motivational badges.
At Time4Learning, second graders discover:
- What makes a community and the different types of communities
- How to use a compass rose on a map to describe locations
- What makes a good citizen and how community workers help a community
- Important symbols and figures in American history
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. Our 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
