Couse description
Elementary Language Arts Grade 2 starts by exploring ways people can make positive contributions in their communities. Students learn about the second greatest commandment, then discover why God lets us face challenges and how we should respond. Students expand on their foundation in phonemic awareness and phonics, practice reading comprehension strategies, and further develop writing, grammar, and speaking and listening skills. In addition, they explore a wealth of topics related to language arts and other subjects through integration across content areas. Students learn what it means to be good stewards of God’s creation, discover the purpose of missions, explore the meaning and purpose of miracles, and identify characteristics of Christ. Students study songs, poetry, fables, and parables, as well as topics like weather, migration, food sources, Native American culture, and discipleship. Students also explore biblical themes and topics, as they read a variety of stories and parables from the Bible. Throughout the course, students participate in informative, narrative, and opinion-writing compositions.
