At lunch I was talking with a co-worker about her new room mate who is a second grade teacher, and we bother realized that we had no recollection of what we learned in second grade. I remember the time that I got smacked for talking back, and the time I got smacked with a ruler for having a friends stash of comic books in my desk. However, I have no recollection of learning anything. I think maybe we started cursive writing that year. Although if you have seen my hand writing you would be hard pressed to say whether I learned anything at all about cursive hand writing.
Poking around I found the Virginia Standards of Learning. I am not sure if this is what I learned in second grade, but it is what is being taught these days.
