SECOND GRADE
Jon Berg, Emily Kadash, Lucy Clark and Inspired Teaching Fellow Andrea Meneghello 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.
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.
