Welcome to 2nd grade!  I'm so excited to start my 17th year of teaching. I have taught 8 years in fifth grade, a year in Kindergarten and this is my 8th year teaching 2nd grade.   This year is very challenging, but we can make the best out of it.   Rules and routines have been established and students are on the right track.  Computer programs will be introduced and used  to enhance student learning.   I'm a strong believer in character building and students will learn and practice the 7 Habits of Highly Successful People.   Given parent support, I can see my students reaching their fullest potential and making this year an unforgettable year.
