Welcome to my 2nd grade blog  Second grade is such a wonderful time.  So much growth will take place in reading, writing, math, science, and social studies.  This will also be a great year of making new friends.  I am very excited to provide a year's worth of experiences that help guide my students toward a bright and successful future.

Check back to our blog for any updates in our classroom.  If you have any questions you may email me at any time at cstarks@sjschools.org    I will happily answer any questions any time.

I am so excited to meet everyone!

Thank you!

Christine Starks
