2nd Grade News

Sunny Days in Second Grade!

Good Morning!

No new Spelling, Paragraph and Bible Memory for the week.

I will give what I call a "Fun Spelling" test. We will see what happens!!

We have one story in our Anthology that I would like to read with the class.

We will also be working on some phonics and grammar pages.

We hope to give our play to the other 2nd grade class on Tuesday!

Enjoy the week!!

Meet Mrs. Van Schepen

Hi Everyone!

I am Karen Van Schepen.

I teach 2nd grade at Southwest Christian Schools.

I have been teaching for several years and thoroughly enjoy it!

I grew up in Edgerton and attended Edgerton Christian Elementary and Southwest Christian High. I graduated from Dordt College in 1980 with my degree in Elementary Education.

My husband is a veterinarian and also an assistant pastor at Bethel CRC here in Edgerton.

We have three boys who are all teachers! They have blessed us with 12 grandchildren!

A favorite Bible passage of mine is Psalm 139, especially verses 13-14, where it says, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."

We are wonderfully made, aren't we?

I believe that each of us is a unique child of God, fearfully and wonderfully made! God created each of us the way he wanted, and most importantly, He made us to know Jesus! That's my goal as a teacher is to teach my students to read and write, but most of all, to get to know Jesus!
