Educating Our Parents: Understanding the La Grande District Curriculum
Reading is a part of each of the subject areas at La Grande Schools; however, it is a part of Language Arts curriculum. Beginning in kindergarten, students are shown how to read from left to right and from the top of the page to the bottom. From here students are introduced to a variety of methods to decode words including the use of suffixes and prefixes. For example some of the grades use poetry to demonstrate similes or they may use two or more stories to show how to compare and contrast books.
La Grande Schools use the community and its surroundings to help students understand the wonders of science. They take field trips to farms to show how the life cycle of plants is lived out. They also use their surrounding to study ecology or biology. Students learn that the choices made by other generations have given them the world as it is today. They have also learned that they have a major role in the world they give their children, one day.

Chalk Talk: Intellectual Development in Second-Grade Children
Each child develops at their own pace, however, there are a few guidelines to help parent understand if children are going through stages or if they need to keep an eye on something. Children of this age are able to solve more involved problems than they could a year ago, both in school and at home. They are also able to understand more. They actively listen to others and they understand sarcasm and jokes. By second grade they begin to develop a sense of empathy. They can start to understand things from another person’s point of view. Money skills also grow with them. By the end of second grade, they understand that money does not need to be spent immediately and they may begin to save it. This is a fascinating age as the children change intellectually and a doorway to increased maturity.
