Second Grade:
- The second grade team holds high expectations for all students with an emphasis on meeting the needs of all learners. A solid educational program in reading, writing, communication, math, science, and art is provided. Writing is incorporated throughout all curriculum areas.
- Our field trips include attending plays at the Seattle Children’s Theater, the Rain Forest Exhibit at the Woodland Park Zoo, and exploring the beach at low tide. These field trips extend student learning beyond the classroom.
- Throughout the school day, second graders are encouraged to think critically and to reflect on their learning. Their different learning styles are accommodated through independent and collaborative work practices.
