SECOND GRADE
Jon Berg, Emily Kadash, and Lauren Swissman are excited to welcome the Second graders and their families to another wonderful school year! Together we are going to go on many learning adventures and become stronger readers, writers, mathematicians, scientists, and community members. We can’t wait to get started!
Parent Curriculum Guidelines - Second Grade
The DCPS Office of Family and Public Engagement and the Office of Teaching and Learning collaborated to create grade specific parent guides. These guides are meant to provide you with the tools needed to support your child’s learning at home. In this booklet, you’ll find strategies based on the DCPS curriculum to help your child meet their learning goals. You will also have a better understanding of what your child is learning in school and how you can further learning at home.

Syllabus
The Second grade syllabus offers families an overview of classroom and Brent policies, as well as curricular information. Below are links to key parts of the syllabus for your quick reference:
Must Know Word Lists
Each week, students will be introduced to 5 “must-know” words of the week. Second graders will practice these words as part of Morning Work and homework. Each Monday (Tuesday if there is no school on Monday), students will be quizzed on these words, as well as 5 previously introduced words. Second graders are held responsible for the First grade word list as well. The link above provides the kindergarten through Third grade lists, by week. Click here for must know word lists.
