About Our Class

Welcome to 2-Baer! We have 17 students and I am very excited to work with everyone this year. In grade two, students will be building upon skills they learned in first grade and will be challenged to become independent learners in these areas. Students will grow academically, socially, and emotionally throughout the school year as they develop the independence they will need to flourish in third grade. Collaboration is very important and your child will learn to communicate clearly and work effectively with his/her peers. In reading, writing, and mathematics, we will learn through critical thinking, group discussion, and hands-on activities. Our lessons will also focus on respect, compassion, empathy, and kindness in order to foster a healthy and nurturing classroom environment. Our class will learn to be kinder than necessary and treat everyone the way they would like to be treated in return. Your child will also build confidence through encouragement and praise. Students will recognize that everyone they meet has something wonderful to offer and we should compliment those qualities to build each other up. This year is going to be a fantastic journey and your child will go into third grade with the confidence and skills they need to succeed.
