2nd Grade
Mrs. Annemarie Balkan and Mrs. Amanda LaPreta
In second grade, our primary goal is to foster your children's academic growth, with a focus on strengthening their reading skills and expanding their mathematical understanding. We also aim to nurture their character development through faith education by preparing them for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion. We strive to instill a lifelong curiosity and love of learning in your children, all while ensuring they are having a fun and engaging year!
Early Literacy Team
As educators we are dedicated to the continued exploration of innovative teaching modalities to help inform our pedagogy in the humanities and literacy curricular. Students are offered the opportunity to read, write and explore various genres of literature to foster a love of reading and draw connections between subject and content areas. Recognizing that students in grades K to 3 are learning to read while students in grades 4 and above are reading to learn, faculty participate in a variety of professional development opportunities that promote phonetic awareness and continue to develop reading and writing across the curricula. These programs will aid in providing differentiated instruction for students at all levels of learning.
