Field Trips:
The second grade program will participate in many extra curricula experiences to enhance our programs. We will be visited by a theatre performance. We will be visited by the New England Historical Society to enhance our study of Native Americans and High-Touch-High-Tech with a program called "Dig-It". The District Science Coordinator and the classroom teachers will visit our school grounds to expand our study of insects. Our final trip is an orientation to Tolland Intermediate School. The cost for these programs will be about $30.00.
Homework:
Homework is an important part of our educational process. It serves to reinforce concepts learned and helps the students become responsible. Second grade teachers typically assign homework during the week. Children should read every night.
