About Our Class:
In second grade we focus on becoming life-long readers by learning about the 4 components of reading: comprehension, accuracy, fluency, and expanding vocabulary. We work hard on learning these skills during Reading Workshop which consists of whole group mini lessons, hands-on independent / collaborative center work, and small group instruction. During Writing Workshop we become authors by applying the 6 traits of writing to all the different types of stories that we write. In Math we study addition/subtraction, place value, money, time, fractions, probability geometry, and measurement. We also work diligently to master addition and subtraction facts through 20 by becoming Ninja Fact Masters. If we master these facts, we then move on to becoming a Multiplication Ninja Fact Masters. During Science, we become scientists as we experiment with various scientific topics. We learn about our community, government, maps, and goods & services. During Religion we learn about God’s love for us. Each Friday, we write about and share God Moments with each other. 2nd Grade is extra special as we will celebrate the Sacraments of First Eucharist and First Reconciliation. And we can’t forget to mention that this is the year the students get to earn their cursive license! 2nd grade is full of a lot fun and learning!
Teacher Bio:
Hello! My name is Jenna Fettes. I have been the second grade teacher at Saint Wendel Catholic School since 2015. Prior to that I taught at Holy Family in Jasper since 2008, which is where I grew up. In May 2008, I graduated from the University of Southern Indiana with a Bachelor’s degree in elementary education, which has been my dream since I was very young. I am married to my husband James and have three children and a dog named Jax. We attend Saint Wendel Catholic Church. I enjoy eating ice cream, being outside, and spending time with my family! I couldn’t feel more blessed to teach at Saint Wendel Catholic School as faith and God’s amazing love is at the center of my heart. Teaching at this Christ-centered school allows me to do what I am most passionate about. I not only get to teach children to learn, but I also get to inspire them to build a special bond with God above and watch them grow in faith and love! In 2nd Grade, I also am blessed with the opportunity to prepare them for two special sacraments. I love teaching second grade at Saint Wendel!
