As the children move through their year of 2nd grade, keep in mind…In reading, they are moving beyond phonetic decoding toward reading more fluently and focusing on comprehension.

In math, they are moving beyond the acquisition of math skills (basic facts, coin names and value, etc.) toward use of these tools in problem solving.

In writing, they are moving beyond a list of general ideas toward a more developed piece that has a clearer beginning, middle, and ending.
