SOE - In-Person - Grade 2 - Richmond Hill North

The
Grade 2 curriculum introduces numerous English concepts with weekly 1.5-hour
classes. Students are first introduced to the foundations of grammar, and by
the end of Grade 2 can identify all nine parts of speech, as well as the basic
parts of a sentence. Creative expression is also a critical part of the
curriculum. Students learn how to write short stories with proper structure,
identify and write a variety of types of poems, write in the style of famous
authors, present an engaging speech, write a thank you note, and memorize and
present famous poems. Students also read and reflect on three different novels,
including a work of classic literature. Finally, students master editing and
spelling skills through weekly Treasure Hunt activities, guided editing on
their written work, spelling/punctuation drills, and activities covering
synonyms and homophones.
