Grammar/Vocab for 2nd grade (non-homeschool)

[mom2littleboys]

I'm just curious what is being taught for grammar and vocabulary in public/private school. Specifically for 2nd or 3rd grade.

How about math too?

thanks!

When dd was in third grade her teacher did a sort of copywork thing with them where he worked on some grammar and mechanics. He was older though (retired after that year) and I got the impression that he did a lot of his own thing.

Grammar is not systematically taught in most public schools, although there are some out and I think there are often teachers who sneak it in regardless of it not being required.

You might be able to find that information by hunting around on your district's website. Some include it, some don't, and sometimes you have to go to the website for one of the elementary schools to find it. Our district's website includes standards, lists of things that are supposed to be learned at each grade level, divided into trimesters.

Finding out the name of the curriculum used is a bit trickier - it can differ among different elementary schools in the same district. I've been known to email actual teachers to find out names of curricula. I've gotten very nice replies from some, and no replies from others, so YMMV.

Many neighborhood schools in our district use Everyday Math, but not all of them. We have several charter schools, and I know that some of the core knowledge charters use Saxon - it's usually mentioned someplace on their websites.

At my kiddos school, 3rd graders and below do Shurley Grammar and Singapore for math.
