How Does Online Second Grade Work?
SECOND GRADE CURRICULUM
Building blocks for lifelong learning
From day one, learners build academic confidence through engaging live classes, hands-on practice, and self-paced assignments. Brain breaks give students time to refocus, while K12’s exciting electives and clubs let kids be kids.
English Language Arts
Students learn essential ELA skills like grammar and spelling by reading rich, diverse texts and writing their own work. Read-aloud videos, independent reading, and close-reading activities help them grasp phonics, vocabulary, and context clues.
Math
Second graders apply math knowledge to real-world scenarios through independent work, games, and offline activities. Using technology, students practice a variety of mathematical concepts: time, money, story problems, data displays, and patterns.
Science
Science comes alive in K12 courses through virtual labs, hands-on activities, interactive lessons, and captivating ebooks. Second graders explore fascinating topics like matter and its interactions, geology, plants, and animals.
History & Social Sciences
At K12, the past is an exciting world to discover. Students use credible sources to explore cultures, investigate their communities, practice using maps, and learn the basics of government, and citizenship.
Spanish
Second graders learn Spanish language basics through fun activities like stories, games, and songs. Authentic myths and legends highlight different cultures as students explore words and phrases in conversation.
Art
This course encourages students to blossom creatively as they draw inspiration from iconic global artwork, paying attention to how experts use lines, shapes, colors, textures, and more — and practicing those techniques for themselves.
Music
Kids sing and boogie in this Spotlight on Music course, building skills by playing virtual instruments, singing, dancing, and more. Musical elements like pitch and tone provide a solid foundation to guide students’ musical performances.
Health & P.E.
Physical, mental, and emotional wellness are the foundation of this course, where students engage in fun fitness activities and learn how to prevent common diseases, manage emotions, nurture friendships, and build healthy daily habits.
