Second grade
Welcome to our second-grade classroom community at Cheverus Catholic School!
My name is Moumita Das, and this is my fifth year at Cheverus. I am incredibly excited to guide your child through this wonderful year of growth, learning, and discovery.
Second grade is an important milestone as students build academic confidence, develop meaningful friendships, and become more independent thinkers. I am committed to creating a supportive, engaging, and welcoming classroom where every student feels valued and has the opportunity to thrive.
I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Education at Emmanuel College in Boston, which I hope to complete this coming spring. I hold both undergraduate and graduate degrees in Literature from India.
Teaching is my passion, and I truly enjoy working with school-aged children. It is a joy and a privilege to be part of their educational journey and to watch them learn, grow, and discover their unique strengths.
I feel blessed to be a member of the Cheverus Catholic School community and am grateful for the opportunity to serve as a teacher. I look forward to a wonderful year of learning, growth, and partnership with you and your child.

My goal is to foster a love for lifelong learning by focusing on:- Academic Excellence & Literacy: Drawing on my strong background in literacy instruction to help students develop advanced reading, writing, and vocabulary skills.
- Differentiated Learning: Tailoring classroom instruction to meet individual learning styles, providing the right balance of challenge and support for each student.
- Social-Emotional Development: Modeling and encouraging empathy, respect, responsibility, and teamwork so our classroom feels like a second family.
Homework
Homework will be posted daily on my teacher web page. It is due the following school day, unless otherwise noted.
Tests
Spelling tests will be every Friday.
English, Science, Social Studies and Religion are not on a set day; usually two days to study for the test
Religion, Science and Social Studies-use the study guide
English-use the review pages at the end of the unit in the hardcover book to study for the test. A copy of these will generally be sent home so the children do not have to carry the textbook.
Grading Policy
Papers with a percentage mark are for a grade; some are graded with a check plus, check, or check minus at the top of the paper.Typical Day at Second Grade
Mostly Math, Reading, English, Spelling, and Phonics in the morning.

Classroom Behavior and Participation
In second grade, we work together to build a respectful and responsible community of learners. Our students are expected to listen attentively, follow directions the first time, and work neatly and independently to finish assignments on time. We practice self-control, accept gentle corrections as opportunities to learn, and always treat others with kindness and respect. By staying organized and caring for our personal belongings, we ensure a positive and productive environment for everyone.Family-Teacher PartnershipA strong connection between home and school is vital for a successful school year. Parents and caregivers are a child's most important cheerleaders, and I value open, active communication. I look forward to working closely with you to celebrate your child's daily successes and support them through any challenges.Please never hesitate to reach out with questions, concerns, or updates regarding your child. Let's work together to make second grade unforgettable!
Birthdays
Birthday snacks should be easy to manage and clean up; cupcakes, brownies and cookies work best. Please email me before your student's birthday so we can make plans accordingly.
Summer birthdays will be celebrated in June; a flyer will be sent home with the summer birthday children closer to the end of the year.Curriculum: ELA
