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 Carrie Schuler! I have been blessed to be a teacher at Saint Wendel for the past twenty years. I was an aid in kindergarten for one year and then taught first grade for nineteen years. This is my second year teaching second grade. I felt very called to be able to teach two very important sacraments to our children. My faith in Jesus has always been very important to me and I want to share that with our children!
My husband’s name is Jeff. We have four wonderful kids named Mackenzie, Maddie, Will and Colton. Colton is in 6th grade at Saint Wendel School. We just gained an amazing son in law this past year whose name is also Jeff! We love animals! We have two dogs named Penny and Scout. We also have a cat named Cooper. We live on the northwest side of Evansville and are members of Saint Wendel Catholic Church.
In my spare time I love to spend time with my family, friends, and fur babies! I enjoy drinking coffee and going on long walks. I have loved watching the children at Saint Wendel grow and learn and become very successful adults over the years! I’m excited to see what this year brings!
