Welcome to Room 4, 2nd Grade at Precious Blood
Dear 2nd Grade Parents in Room 4,
Welcome to Second Grade! I am excited about the new school year and delighted that your child will be part of our wonderful second grade. This will be a year of tremendous growth! My goal is to inspire, encourage and support each child as they continue a journey of lifelong learning. I've been joyfully teaching for seven years and can't imagine a more rewarding way to spend each day! Your child may have seen me around last year at lunch or recess.
I will share things about myself with them this week. I have been happily married 26 years to Doug. I have 2 sons. Ross is 15 and Neil is 17. They are both in High School. We have two cats and my bird which is our class pet. I love tennis, music, movies, cooking and eating anything.
I am honored that you are sending me your child. Our second grade
curriculum is broad and challenging. Language art is focused on language
development and enrichment through listening, speaking, reading and
writing. Watching children go from learning to read to reading for
enjoyment is one of my greatest joys! We will read books, poetry, folk
and fairy tales. Our math takes the form of "play" as the children use
manipulative materials to gain a deeper number sense, explore problem
solving, patterning, place value, money, time, measurements and
fractions. Science is taught by Mrs. Bernsten the other 2nd grade
teacher. We will travel all around the world in Social Studies. This
year in Religion we will continue our journey to Christ through the
Eucharist.
Please feel free to contact me by stopping by after school, sending a note, or phoning the office with the smallest concern, problem, or confusion. I will try to return your call as soon as possible, My door is always open.

Yours in Christ,
