Second Grade with Ms. Doherty

 

 

Math
Our learning focus is building strong problem solving skills. We learn to regroup with addition and subtraction of larger numbers, count money, understand fraction parts and geometric shapes.

 

Reading

We practice independent and group reading frequently every day in order to become fluent readers. Additionally, we focus on developing a deeper understanding, using comprehension strategies and text evidence of various texts.


Science

We learn the importance of asking questions and observing results to model scientific reasoning methods.
  

Religion

We develop our faith as we prepare for First Communion.

 

Class Highlights

Robust Learning Environment

In 2nd grade we incorporate many modalities of learning: sign language, movement, art, engaging lessons involving treats, and blending learning. Blended Learning is where students rotate between various stations that target personalized learning through the use of technology. One station can even scan QR codes!
