Math
The core of the year is addition and subtraction within 100, then within 1,000, with regrouping. Kids also skip-count, work with place value to 1,000, compare three-digit numbers, and start even and odd, arrays, and simple length and time.
Second grade is when adding and subtracting within 100 gets fluent, including making a ten when the ones go over, and when place value stretches to 1,000. Packs keep the work in boxes a child can write in, and they wrap it in a theme, like a lucky cat, a trail, or a team, so it doesn’t feel like a stack of drills.
Here’s a page from a 2nd-grade sample, made for a kid who loves lucky cats and leafy trails. The name on it, Sam, is made up.

A playful title with the kid’s name, here, Sam’s Leafy Math.
A theme from what they love Here, a leaf and a lucky cat, used again in the story problems.
Short instructions for the first skill: if the ones make 10 or more, make a ten.
Addition practice two-digit addition with regrouping, in boxes big enough to write the answer.
Subtraction practice two-digit take-away, with a reminder to break a ten when you need to.
Story math two short word problems to listen to and solve, still in the lucky-cat theme.
A 2nd-grade pack is meant to be finished in one sitting, with addition, subtraction and a little story math on the same page.
Text back a photo of a finished sheet and the next pack can spend more time on regrouping, or move on.

Phonics moves into vowel teams (ee, ea, ai, ay), r-controlled vowels, and longer words. Kids read a short story and answer questions about who, where and what happened, and they write a few sentences or draw a scene from the story.
Second-grade science often looks at plants, land and water, and how things change. A pack might pair a leafy theme with parts of a tree, or a trail theme with rocks and soil, always in kid-sized language.
