This second grade class will concentrate on learning to read, write, and complete 2nd grade math. 

Students entering this class should know some basic sight words and have begun the process of reading. I do not expect you to be proficient readers. 

This class will work at whatever pace we need to work to ensure students are on grade level for reading and math at the end of the year.

🐶 My Classroom and Teaching Style:

My goal is to make learning as happy 🥳 and stress-free as possible! My classroom is fast-paced and interactive. It is a kind, caring, supportive, productive, silly, and just a little bit crazy kind of space! I want students to love class and enjoy showing up to learn with me. Students can only learn when they feel comfortable and safe! I provide that environment for my students, then watch as their learning soars! I will meet each student where he or she is and move them forward.
