Grade 2

Be the Best You Can Be

Carol Cenerini is the grade two teacher along with Mrs. Taylor at St. Ignatius School. She enjoys working and learning with her students. In grade two, students journey together through the preparations for First Communion. This is certainly a special time which brings together families and the church and school communities.

Guiding them to see themselves as citizens of both a school and the community at large, Mrs. Cenerini looks for opportunities to increase her students' awareness of helping  those around them.  She strives to help her students grow in all aspects of what it means to be a responsible, knowledgeable, and caring person.

Connie Taylor teaches science in both grades 2 and 4.  She enjoys the enthusiastic and inquisitive nature students bring to this area of study.  Mrs. Taylor is inspired by music and art, and loves to find creative ways to integrate the arts into the classroom.

 

Happy holidays and Happy New Year!

As students embark on the new beginnings of the new year the following is a tidbit about new endings.

New Endings

Students have been busy studying the author Barbara Reid. We have read a variety of her books and researched how she does her illustrations. Students have written a new ending to one of her stories and went through the process of creating clay art, photographing their work and typing their text. I hope you enjoy these new endings to Effie and Subway Mouse.
