Second Grade - Scope & Sequence

Flow of The Year

Assumptions

1. Maintaining the suggested pacing and flow across all content areas supports students across SFUSD to have a similar, coherent, and transferable learning experience that prepares them for the next grade level. 

 

2. This pacing is approximate and takes school breaks, family conferences, and other changes to the regular classroom schedule and routine into consideration. 

Guidance

1. While your pacing may be slightly different, the expectation is that you honor the general flow articulated below.

 

2. No unit should be skipped. 

  • Each unit supports students in meeting grade-level standards and expected learning targets. Units are designed to build upon each other - building upon knowledge, skills, and routines learned in previous units.

 

3. If your pacing or flow is out of sync with the suggested year-at-a-glance, collaborate with your grade-level team, coaches, and/or administrators to ensure students will have the necessary instruction and support for a rich, developmentally appropriate kindergarten experience that well prepares them for success in first grade.
