Grade 2

 

Welcome to 2nd Grade.


I am honored to welcome you into this very crucial year of your child’s education! Second grade stands as a major stepping stone in your child’s journey through elementary education. Preparing your child to enter upper elementary with a sold foundation of knowledge, critical thinking skills, and a variety of methods in problem solving remain among our primary goals as educators. During this transitional year, children grow from emergent readers and writers into more fluent, expressive, and confident students in every respect. Our teachers consistently strive to build your child’s sense of curiosity and thirst for knowledge.


We seek to help your children grow into independent thinkers who are excited to take on new challenges, and we encourage them to become curious, life-long learners. As a parent, you might start to think it is time for you to relinquish your educational responsibilities; nothing could be further from the truth! Studies show that parent involvement in a child’s education is a leading contributor to academic success. YOU were your child’s first teacher, and you are still his or her most important guide and role model.


Our faculty and staff believe that learning should be fun and engaging. We explore areas of interest to our students, and they are given plenty of opportunity to express their ideas and expand their critical thinking skills. All areas of education are supported by hands-on, interactive activities. We hold very high expectations for our students, therefore we expect your child to do his or her best at all times in every area of school life. When parents model the importance of school and education, children are much more likely to value them as well.


Teachers and students spend a major portion of each day on reading and writing, regularly integrating both throughout all subject areas. We explore a variety of literary genres, and attempt to positively and consistently motivate the children to always seek growth and improvement.


An outstanding group of educators comprises our second grade teaching team, from a variety of backgrounds, yet all with great love of children, affection toward teaching, as well as a vested interest in your child’s success here at school. We continually strive to create independent thinkers, self-reliant individuals, and children of integrity with pride in their achievements. I am very proud of our team and feel highly confident that the 2009-2010 second grade year will be a very productive, positive experience for all of us!

Sincerely,

 

Melissa A. Scott

Grade 2 Team Leader
