Lower Elementary Curriculum and Program
Grades 2 and 3 make up the Lower Elementary class. Students once again are evaluated at the beginning of each year to determine their level of competence. The lower elementary students are expected to master the usual math operations and can move on as they master each one. Students focus on improving their reading proficiency, comprehension and spelling. They begin grammar and composition writing. Students enjoy culture studies in science, history, geography and Spanish language. Art, music, computer keyboarding and physical education make up the rest of their day. |
