Why a Catholic Education Matters
I believe that God is present in all aspects of our lives and that having God as a partner in education makes it more meaningful. I love bringing my students closer to God through our time together. I am a product of Catholic education--nursery school through Notre Dame. I want to provide that same faith-based education for our students.

We have been very busy in Second Grade.  Among our favorite things to learn was the unit on weather.  We had great fun experimenting with evaporation, condensation, and precipitation in Science.  In Social Studies we have discovered the importance of three words in preserving our world's precious natural resources:   Reduce!  Reuse!  Recycle!   

We are moving forward on our journey to Reconciliation.  We have been learning about how to show we are sorry and examine our consciences.  We are looking forward to making our First Reconciliation in March.  

Math class finds us busy with problem solving strategies, adding with regrouping, fractions, and most exciting, Wrap-Ups!  We use these handy (and fun) tools to practice our math facts.  Much better than plain flash cards!  

Our writing skills are improving in many ways.  Not only are we making great progress with learning cursive, but we have been working hard to add voice to our writing pieces.  It is a challenge to put a bit of our personality in our writing, but we are determined! We continue to study and practice reading strategies such as summarizing, context clues, main idea, cause and effect, prediction, and drawing conclusions.  We look forward to improving our skills and becoming better readers and writers!
