The second grade teacher, Mrs. Florio, brings an atmosphere perfect for both learning and having fun. Throughout the year, children learn how to participate in fun and educational activities such as reading, telling time, and the weather. Every Monday, students receive a homework packet that includes his or her homework for the week. This is an easy way to teach kids organizational skills. For fun, students do projects like making milk carton village during the Christmas season and dioramas. There is a station where students can sit and listen to the story they are working on in reading. They travel to wonderful plays as field trips that capture the children’s attention and imagination.
