Our Lady of Victory 

Catholic School

 We use Sadlier’s We Believe program to learn about how Jesus is with Him and He calls His followers to penance, reconciliation, and communion. They prepare for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist using the Dynamic Catholic’s Blessed program. Second graders participate in daily prayer, review the Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, and Rosary, learn the Act of Contrition, and attend weekly Mass.

Second Grade Religion Curriculum Map 

 We use the Sadlier Math series, updated for 2021. Students work on addition and subtraction through three digits with regrouping, measurement, place value, geometry, time, money, data, fraction foundations, and multiplication foundations. We use Star Renaissance’s Freckle for supplementation, targeted practice, and adaptive practice.

For materials, second graders use Scholastic’s Science Spin in conjunction with FOSS, a hands-on inquiry-based curriculum, taking a deeper look into science topics and using the scientific method. We follow the Next Generation Science Standards through the guidance of the Archdiocese of Detroit to integrate critical thinking skills with Catholic identity. Students learn about animals and biodiversity, ecosystems, solids & liquids, and matter, among other topics.

Second-grade students follow the Archdiocese of Detroit standards for social studies with a combination of Savvas' myWorld: We Do Our Part and cross-curricular connections with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt’s Into Reading. They also use Scholastic News to help students learn about history, communities, maps, landforms, and government.

Students use Houghton Mifflin Harcourt’s Into Reading and the guidance of the Archdiocese of Detroit standards to show growth in their reading skills, comprehension, phonetic decoding, and fluency. We use Star Renaissance’s Freckle for supplementation, targeted practice, and adaptive practice for reading. Students go through the writing process and complete a narrative, opinion, informative, and research writing piece. Second graders are introduced to cursive writing through the Zaner Bloser Handwriting program.
