Second Grade Goals
In second grade, children
begin
to develop a sense of responsibility, take pride in their
accomplishments,
and are able to work more independently. Second graders begin to
reason and are able to concentrate for longer periods of time. At
this stage they develop their self-concept and begin to understand and
respect others. Second graders are eager learners.
