Second Grade

The second grade students at Foothills Christian School not only build on spelling, math, and reading skills they have learned in the first grade, but they are also introduced to many new concepts.  The core curriculum consists of math, English, spelling, and literature.

Bob Jones University Press (BJU) 2 Math develops the child’s ability to go from concrete to abstract, order numbers, add and subtract with carrying and borrowing to the ten-thousands, estimate, memorize computations to 20, understand place value, and even to multiply and divide.

BJU curriculum is used for our English, spelling, literature and handwriting programs.  Students are taught correct grammar for both written and oral communication, including the development of word-attack skills using prefixes, suffixes, and homophones.  They are also taught a writing process which helps them organize their thoughts for different types of compositions.

We use BJU Heritage Studies:  Working together in the colonies (1607 – 1776).  Appreciation for God’s creation is taught through one semester of Abeka Health and A.C.E. Science PACE’s for the remainder of the year.

Throughout the year our devotions focus on God’s faithfulness and our response in loving Him.
