| Welcome to Second Grade
| | I am so excited to be a "looping" teacher. My class and I will be together this year for second grade, and then we'll all move on together as a group to third grade. Looping provides us with a wonderful opportunity to become an especially strong classroom family, and also allows for long-term progress to be more easily assessed.
We spend the first half of our day focusing on the "Four Blocks:" Guided Reading, Writing, Working with Words, and Self-Selected Reading. The last half of our day is spent working on our Everyday Mathematics curriculum, science, and social studies. Every day is packed with learning in meaningful situations! |

About the Teacher
|
| This will be my 20th year as an elementary school teacher, and I'm proud to say that I've been here at Walker for every one of those years. Before becoming a looping teacher and teaching second and third grade, I taught first grade for many years. I was also a first/second grade multiage teacher. I have my Master's degree in Language, Reading, and Culture, with a Reading Specialist endorsement. |
