Welcome to
Second grade students are known for doing things with “just right” precision! Ever curious, they possess a strong desire to create and discover. They strive for orderliness. At AST, we practice Responsive Classroom, which consists of morning meetings, closing circle, and a sense of structure which goes hand in hand with a 2nd graders desire for orderliness, predictability, security, and structure.
In the classroom, second graders take on many hats. They come to school as children, but that changes quickly. One moment they are phonics detectives, who decode prefixes and suffixes from root words. Suddenly, they change to scientists, keen on focusing on what plants need to survive. Next, they become mathematicians, who attempt to solve one and two step word problems. Finally, they can become global citizens, learning about a variety of cultures and time periods!
Our curriculum is based on the Common Core standards for Mathematics and English Language Arts, Next Generation Science Standards for Science, and AERO Social Studies. Moreover, we have a heavy focus on literacy which can be found in our Kendore Phonics, Writers Workshop, and specialized reading groups. Our schedule also allows for technology, STEM, physical education, art, music and Chinese.
