Fortis Academy Second Grade (M/W) - August 10-14, 2026

 

Welcome to Second Grade!  Below the blog, you'll see a key for some of the abbreviations listed on the blog (not all of them are on there this week).  Please remember to do all written work for reading and history as copy work (the student should orally answer the question, co-teacher writes it down and student then copies) and to double check for correct spelling, punctuation and letter formation.
