Welcome to Second Grade
In second grade, students make huge strides in developing and improving their academic skills. They learn to read fluently, improve and expand their math skills, and use writing to communicate their ideas. Second graders also develop important social skills, become more responsible and self-sufficient. Most importantly, they will grow in knowledge and understanding of God’s plan for them in their lives.
