Second grade students apply what they have learned about the meanings of letters and numbers to more complex challenges and to further develop their analytical abilities. They are eager to look outside of themselves, compare their experiences to others, and discover the broader world. Second grade students learn about animals, the environment, and the Earth’s resources. Opportunities for community service harness their emerging planning skills and their eagerness to help others and have influence in their world. They earn more responsibility to resolve conflicts and demonstrate themselves as an integral part of the classroom community.
