Welcome to 2nd Grade

Dear Parents,

As a teacher and parent, I believe that teaching and learning successfully happen with planned real-life connections and hands-on experiential activities. Thus, knowledge becomes meaningful and long-lasting. We all learn best when we feel confident and safe – safe to err and safe to experiment. My modeling in and out of the classroom is centered on positive reinforcement and praise. I encourage and challenge my students to be curious, as foundation for life-long learning. I want them to know that it’s OK to make mistakes as a way to forward their learning. Socially, my students learn to find great traits in every peer in their classroom, which creates a tightly-knit family-like community.

I am excited to be your child’s teacher and your partner in his/her educational journey!

Best wishes for a fantastic year,

Gina Sandu

Second Grade Teacher
