Welcome to Second Grade!
This is going to be a great Adventure!
This year, marks the 25th year I have been working in the Etiwanda School District. I started my career here as a Substitute Teacher and had the opportunity to help write individual curriculum for SDC. I then started as a General Education teacher in Second Grade. I have taught kindergarten, first grade, and fourth grade. I am excited to be in second grade again this year!
My goals have always been to make a difference in the world, and to leave the world a better place. I strive for this every day and encourage my students to do the same. I encourage my class to work as a community, or family. I wish them to build each other up, and to help each other when they are down. Academics are important, but so is the content of their character.
This year I hope to help your students with the transition from Kindergarten, to First Grade! This could be the first time your student will be on the larger playground and I know that along with the excitement, there will be some hesitation. I want you all to know that with the routines we will have in place, as well as the FANTASTIC staff, we ill all be successful.
Communication is the KEY! If you should have any questions, or concerns, please contact me! You can email me at Tara_Stevens@etiwanda.org, or contact me via ROOMS. This is our district/school communication system.
With that said, let us start our ADVENTURE!
