Hello!  My name is Emily Corwin.  This is my second year teaching at OLL and I absolutely love it!  Just like our students, I attended Catholic elementary school, St. Agnes, which is my home parish.  I decided to continue my education in Catholic schools by attending Sacred Heart Academy and Fairfield University.  I earned my Master's in education from Fairfield University.

Favorite Saint: Saint Vincent

Favorite Bible Verse:   A loyal friend is like a safe shelter; find one, and you have found a treasure.  Nothing else is as valuable; there is no way of putting a price on it. A loyal friend is like a medicine that keeps you in good health. Only those who fear the Lord can find such a friend. A person who fears the Lord can make real friendships, because he will treat his friends as he does himself.
Sirach 6: 14-17




Religion
Second grade is a wonderful year for sacraments.  Students will learn about the church and stories in the Bible to prepare to receive their First Penance and Holy Communion. 

Math
This year the students will be working on addition and subtraction with 2 and 3-digit numbers.  It is super important for everyone to continue to practice their basic math facts!

ELA
We will be focusing this year on developing our writing skills and working on our reading comprehension.  It is important that you are reading with your child on a nightly basis. 

Science:
Students will learn all about animals, plants, space and technology!  There will be a research project about animals!

Social Studies:
Students will learn how to become super citizens!  We will learn about different leaders, communites and families around the world.
