Curriculum Map for 2nd Grade - California

Teachers sequence a full year of California second-grade instruction across ELA, math, science, and social studies from a single reference grid

Teachers coordinate concurrent targets across subjects, such as September's place-value work alongside Earth-science and citizenship-symbols content

Teachers check standards coverage month by month using the complete standard wording quoted in each cell

Adjust the month rows in Excel to match your district calendar before the year starts; the map is one editable worksheet

Use a month's row as the checklist when writing that month's lesson plans, since all nine subject columns for the month sit side by side

Highlight or annotate cells as standards are taught to turn the map into a running coverage record for the year

Year-long pacing — teachers lay out which ELA, math, science, and social studies standards fall in each month from August through May.

Standards-based planning — each cell quotes the full standard text, letting teachers plan straight from the wording of codes like 2.NBT, 2.MD, and 2-PS1.

Cross-subject coordination — a single month row shows all nine subject strands together, supporting integrated unit planning.

Schedule customization — teachers reorder or edit the Excel grid to fit their own school calendar and adopted materials.
