	The second grade builds upon the foundations laid in the first grade. Learning continues through picture images, rhythmic movement, music, art, games, foreign language study, and handwork. Longer, more complex fairy tales and nature stories are told along with fables, legends, local folklore, and stories about the lives of saints. The animals in the fables of Aesop and La Fontaine illustrate the different aspects of human nature, whether noble or cowardly, vulnerable or strong. Reading and writing instruction evolves from these classical stories and legends. Work with the four basic math processes continues and progresses to mental arithmetic, carrying, and borrowing. Multiplication tables are introduced through rhythmic movement. Crafts, games, music, foreign language and nature walks complete a well-rounded curriculum that focuses on the whole child.
