Diversión en 2.º grado (curso completo de estudios sociales y ciencias de segundo grado)

This course will meet once a week, on an ongoing basis. Every week will include different themes related to a social studies topic developmentally appropriate for 2nd grade. Lessons are aligned to Common Core Standards as well as National Curriculum Standards for Social Studies Standards (NCSS) and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). 

Sessions will be a variety of discussions about a text that is related to theme, students asking and answering questions about the topic, and an opportunity for students to apply their knowledge. Students will apply their knowledge through an interactive game or a writing assignment depending on the topic. The writing assignment is optional but a great way for your child to apply their knowledge about the topic.

Although classes build upon each other, I will quickly review the previous week's content so that no matter when the learner joins this class, the learner will not feel lost! With multiple units and various topics, this course allows learners to subscribe and unsubscribe as they need.
