Welcome to 2nd grade! I am so excited to be here and teaching at this grade level to help students continue to grow their love of learning. I graduated from Villanova University with a major in LIberal Arts. I went back to school later in life and got my teaching degree from Cabrini University and began teaching in 2016. I taught 4th grade Math at a charter school in West Philadelphia, 3rd and 4th grades in the Haverford School District, and most recently kindergarten at Cardinal Foley. I live in Ardmore with my husband and three children. I'm thrilled to be at SSJ!2nd Grade Curriculum Topics
Religion: Your child will learn about our beliefs and traditions as Catholics. We will learn about feast days, holy days, the seasons of the liturgical year, and saints. There will be a special emphasis placed on the Holy Sacraments of The Eucharist and Reconciliation, the church community, and the Mass.
Math: In math we follow Common Core State Standards. Your child will practice and master addition and subtraction facts to 18, addition and subtraction with regrouping, place value, graphing, time, money, fractions, and measurement. We will spend time focusing on problem solving, reasoning skills, and modeling throughout our learning experience in order to promote high order thinking.
