Second grade is a bridge between primary and intermediate grades. Students are learning how to be more responsible and independent. They are moving from "Learning to Read" to "Reading to Learn". One of our favorite units of study is Science Embryology, otherwise known as Life cycles. We raise quail from eggs to baby chicks in our classroom using incubators and brooder  boxes. Most years we also are able to observe monarch butterflies go through the stages from egg, larva, pupa, then an adult butterfly through the use of our butterfly cages. Both activities are thrilling! To top it all off, we go to the Lazy 5 Ranch in Mooresville to see newborn animals in the spring. We are looking forward to a great year with your child!

I am looking forward to a wonderful time in second grade. 

I am so happy to be teaching at Catawba Heights! My 2 children have been students here for years and I know what a wonderful school this is.
