Welcome to Second Grade!
Dear Parents,
This is my seventh year teaching at Mission Crest. I have been teaching second grade for four years. Previously, I taught fifth grade and first grade. I earned my Bachelor's degree and teaching credential at Azusa Pacific University, and have been with the school district for 14 years.
2nd grade is such a fun year, with so many wonderful activities to celebrate. In order to have a fun year, my most important goal is to create a family of learners in my classroom. I am committed to crafting a classroom environment where your child is a valued, trusted member of our family community. In order to accomplish this, we have planned a variety of activities to emphasize and reinforce this goal.
We will be focusing on helping your student achieve a growth mindset about both school work and home life. We will teach each child to try their hardest and persevere during challenges. We hope that you will support and encourage this vision at home. Parents, family members, and guardians are the driving force in their student's life.
I will also support your efforts by communicating what your student is learning by the week and forwarding helpful information you may explore. We will be using a website called "Class Dojo" at www.classdojo.com/ to share second grade students' progress, and pictures of fun activities. This is also a quick way to contact me, as you are able to send a secure text right to my phone! More information on Class Dojo will be coming home with your students the first day. If you need to contact me directly, please feel free to email me at: [email protected] . Our school website can be found at www.missioncrestelementary.org. Remember to "like" our Facebook page, as well.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Bentley
