Welcome to 2nd Grade!
“Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires.” — James 1:19-20
Hello Second-Grade Families,
Welcome to our second-grade class, where academic excellence and Christ-centered character development go hand in hand. In a nurturing and joyful environment, students grow in godly character through daily Scripture and prayer while building strong foundational skills through an extensive phonics and reading program. Narration and related skills are used to develop confident communication and deep comprehension, especially in our exploration of ancient history, which invites children to see God’s hand at work across time, helping them understand both the past and their place within His story.
In science, inquiry-based lessons are used to explore plant and animal biodiversity, erosion and Earth's surface, material properties, and states of matter. We also use nature study to explore science through the lens of creation with units that align to the seven days of Creation, foster curiosity, and encourage careful observation of the natural world and God's hand in it.
We use Saxon Math™ to ensure sustained achievement through incremental instruction. Daily reinforcement, practice, and application of basic skills and concepts help students build conceptual understanding, computational fluency, and problem-solving skills and strategies. This foundation is solidified through at-home practice in the form of games that reinforce computational fluency as well as the completion of work not completed in class.
I am committed to partnering with families to cultivate thoughtful learners, strong readers, and hearts aligned with God and His beautiful plan for each student.
In Christ,
Mrs. Rachel Frankovich
Second-Grade Teacher
