Jordynn gives 2GC a vote of confidence that they'll do a great job in 3rd grade
Jordynn, from Mrs. DeTrolio's class, shared her thoughts about what it's like to be in 3rd grade. She encouraged our 2nd grade class by telling them it's important to learn your addition and subtraction math facts in 2nd grade so they'll do a great job with their multiplication and division in 3rd grade. Jordynn also gave our 2nd grade students a vote of confidence by telling them 3rd grade is a lot of fun and that the best way to think about moving on the next grade is it's just the next step in elementary school. Jordynn loves coming to visit 2GC because she was in Mrs. Goodnick's class last year and is Dr. Connell's daughter!
