Students will also build skills in sorting, classifying, patterning, matching, counting to 120 (by 1s, 5s, and 10s), understanding fractions, counting coins, identifying 3D and 2D shape attributes, mastering measurements, and telling time on analog and digital clocks (including hours and half-hours). By the end of the first grade, students are expected to have memorized addition and subtraction facts up to 20, providing them with a strong foundation for future mathematical success. This year represents a pivotal milestone in their mathematical journey, equipping them to apply these skills in real-world scenarios.<\\\/span><\\\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"SCIENCE\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p><span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">In science we use an inquiry-based method to help the children explore light and sound, parts of plants and animals, how plants and animals survive, plant and animal traits and variations, seasonal patterns, and patterns in space.<\\\/span><\\\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"SOCIAL STUDIES\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p><span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">Some topics explored in social studies are rules and laws, landforms and bodies of water, weather, neighborhood helpers, American Symbols, and map skills.

There will be much academic learning mixed in with fun activities and projects. We are looking forward to working with your child next year. Students will be expected to write down homework each day and have their planners signed by a parent every night. This helps students become responsible for their own homework and assures that a parent is checking that everything is completed for the next day. In partnership with parents, we encourage the children to be responsible for their things, establish time management skills for completing tasks, and improve on valuable social emotional skills such as treating everyone with kindness and respect. These three goals are valuable lessons for all of us in life!<\/span><\/p><p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-ee3f1d41-7fff-b923-67b9-130e1fe1b1bb\"><span style=\"font-size: 15pt; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; color: #343e47; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;\">CURRICULUM:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b19398 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-accordion\" data-id=\"2b19398\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ha_floating_fx&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-4511\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-4511\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-far-bookmark\" viewBox=\"0 0 384 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M336 0H48C21.49 0 0 21.49 0 48v464l192-112 192 112V48c0-26.51-21.49-48-48-48zm0 428.43l-144-84-144 84V54a6 6 0 0 1 6-6h276c3.314 0 6 2.683 6 5.996V428.43z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-bookmark\" viewBox=\"0 0 384 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M0 512V48C0 21.49 21.49 0 48 0h288c26.51 0 48 21.49 48 48v464L192 400 0 512z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">RELIGION<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-4511\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-4511\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Religion is a very important part of second grade.
