I am very pleased to be teaching second grade at Christ the King
School. Second grade is a year to explore and develop new skills
and knowledge in the context of learning about our community.
This year's religion curriculum is very important for the students as
part of our faith community. In addtion to preparation for the
sacraments of Reconciliation and First Communion, students learn about
the beliefs that bind our community together and how we live, pray and
worship together. The skills we acquire in language arts help us
learn about our community through reading, and communicate well with
others while listening, speaking and writing. Our math curriculum
gives us the basic skills that help us function in our community.
Second grade has a big emphasis on measurement of time, money,
temperature, length, and capacity. The addition and subtraction
skills and concepts of multiplication and division that are learned in
second grade are ones we all use in our daily lives. Second grade
social studies explores communities of today and of the past, and how
we work and govern ourselves. Our science curriculum rounds out
the idea of community by offering an opportunity to explore the world
right outside our classroom, including how we interact with plants,
animals, the earth, space and physical realities. Respecting and
caring for God's creation is an important aspect of our studies this
year. My philosophy is that all children can learn and the best pace or style differs for each child. My goal for the school year is to help each of my students grow, learn and feel loved. I believe that my classroom should be a warm, creative and safe environment that allows that to happen. It is my hope that every child in my class will respect others and feel respected by others. I commit to helping the students grow as a loving community by implementing a positive classroom management plan. I believe that good communication and a team approach between teacher and parents leads to school success for students. Personal
Mission Statement
I am the voice and hands of God in my 2nd grade classroom, charged with
gently guiding my children as they learn, play, grow, and pray so that
each may achieve their personal best. I commit my gifts of
compassion, enthusiasm, knowledge, and organization to leadership in
service to my school community.
