This class teaches a full year’s curriculum of math, english including; reading, writing, grammar/phonics and spelling; science, including hands-on experiment, and social studies including; civics, geography, and economics for 2nd grade. Topics will rotate throughout the year for review and practice. The class will cover fundamental concepts for 2nd grade and covers a full and in-depth curriculum over the year. Each week, we will have a spelling list and have rotational lessons in English, Math, Science and Social Studies. Every day learners will participate in discussions and hands-on activities to make learning fun and interactive. There will be homework for extra math, English, and spelling practice each week and some activities. Teachers are available to answer any questions and will give feedback on the homework. Our lessons are always engaging because education is more than just academics, it is also about the social interactions you have while learning. Our classes include interactive discussions and we use games and other hands-on activities to engage every child in their learning. All of our classes are taught in a 100% inclusive and child-led environment. Our teachers are always inclusive of every child and adapt their teaching style to keep high levels of engagement and progression.
