RISE. - 2nd Grade Level Curriculum: My Feelings. Choices. RISE

RISE Second Grade Resilience Curriculum is a full academic-year social-emotional learning and resilience program designed to help second-grade students become more confident, responsible, self-aware, and connected to others.With 36 week-long practices and 180 daily learning experiences, students build practical skills they can use in the classroom, at home, in friendships, and throughout everyday life. Lessons explore important second-grade topics including self-awareness, friendship, cooperation, confidence, responsibility, safety, empathy, fairness, problem-solving, and making healthy choices.As children become more independent in second grade, the curriculum helps them move beyond simply asking, "Who am I?" toward understanding how their choices affect themselves and the people around them. Students learn to recognize their strengths and areas for growth, celebrate differences, communicate respectfully, work cooperatively, manage challenges, take responsibility, and contribute positively to their classroom community.Each week follows an easy-to-use five-day instructional rhythm: Teach → Model → Guided Practice → Apply → Assess & ReflectDesigned for approximately 10-15 minutes per day, activities incorporate discussion, drawing, movement, partner work, reflection, role-play, and age-appropriate writing-making the curriculum accessible for a wide range of learners.The curriculum is aligned with the 2024 National Health Education Standards for PreK-2 and Grade 2 Common Core ELA standards, including Reading, Writing, Speaking & Listening, and Language.Created for teachers, counselors, homeschool families, afterschool programs, and youth-serving organizations, the RISE Second Grade Resilience Curriculum provides a practical, developmentally appropriate pathway for helping children strengthen the skills that support learning, relationships, confidence, and lifelong resilience.Human Performance.
