2nd Grade
A Family Guide to 2nd Grade
在每个年级,SPS的核心工作是支持学生的学习. We believe it is our responsibility to do whatever it takes to ensure that every child, regardless of race, gender, socioeconomic status, language proficiency, 学习方式或残疾, 达到他们的最高水平.
It’s time for 2nd grade,而你的孩子已经知道了很多!
They have some experience with school and have information in many areas. 他们可能会挑战你记忆事实的能力.
Their teachers recognize their interest in detail and are helping them to notice more about the characters, 他们所读的内容中的动作和描述. They should be encouraged to write and retell stories with more detail as well and pay attention to the world around them in science and social studies.
许多二年级学生开始害怕犯错. You can help them slow down to give accurate answers to math problems, look up and define new words, 注意语法和拼写.
他们需要安全和结构, so it helps to have familiar patterns and expectations at school and at home. Talk with your child’s teachers about how they spend time in class and outside school. Together you can create predictable routines to help your learner feel supported.
