2nd Grade Science Explorers: Full Curriculum Aligned With NGSS Standards!

This 2nd-grade science class is designed for students to explore the natural world through hands-on activities, experiments, and observations. Students will engage in inquiry-based learning to develop a deeper understanding of scientific concepts and processes. 

I am an experienced teacher with nine years of teaching experience. Over the past six years, I have taught 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade at my local public school, teaching all subject areas(reading, writing, math, phonics, science, and social studies). I am excited to learn with your learner this school year!

I believe in meeting learners at their current academic level and providing an encouraging learning environment to facilitate meaningful learning. Learners should come to class with paper and pencil or whiteboard. I encourage discussions and lots of interaction but also understand some learners prefer to refrain from participating and enjoy listening to class discussions. 

The mini-lesson will include the new teaching point, which the teacher will demonstrate using interactive slides or other materials.  

**This is an ongoing class, so join anytime, as new concepts will not depend on previous classes. Although some weeks' content will build from the previous week, it will not prevent the new learner from understanding the concept we are covering during the current week.**

⭐⭐⭐I cannot share class recordings as per agreements with publishers, who have granted permission to use specific materials under the condition that videos are not posted. Your understanding and cooperation in respecting these agreements are greatly appreciated.
Additionally, please note that refunds will not be issued for missed classes. Thank you for your understanding and commitment to our shared learning experience. ⭐⭐⭐

⭐⭐⭐ It is helpful if learners can access the chat and mute and unmute themselves. ⭐⭐⭐
