Dear Second Grade Families,

Welcome to the 2024-25 school year! My name is Mrs. Andrea Bricker, one of three second grade teachers at Scotland Elementary School. This will be my 20th year teaching for Chambersburg and my 19th year teaching at Scotland. I will be teaching math to all of the second graders this year,

I am married to Mr. Rich Bricker who is a band teacher at CAMS North. We have been married for 19 years. We have four children. Our oldest is Noah who is going into eleventh grade. Liam is our second son and he is entering sixth grade. Emma and Drew are our twins and they are going into fifth grade. We also have a four-year-old sheepadoodle named Ellie and a very energetic one-year-old labradoodle named Jaxon.

Prior to being married, I lived most of my childhood and young adult life in the Shippensburg area. I graduated from Shippensburg University in 2000 with a Bachelors in Elementary Education and an Early Childhood Concentration. In 2010, I completed my Masters in Reading and Math through Walden University.

         I grew up in a military family. My father made a career of serving in the Army. My mother was in the Navy. My brother went into the Air Force. So, instead of joining the Marines, I went to college and became a teacher.

I strongly believe it takes a team effort to help each child reach their fullest academic potential and I consider you to be a key member of that team. If you have any questions or concerns during the school year, please do not hesitate to contact me. The best ways to contact me are either through Class Dojo or my school email address. I look forward to getting to know your child and you throughout the school year. Let’s make it a successful one together!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Bricker

2nd Grade Teacher

Scotland Elementary

The main focus for second grade math is place value. Having a more solid understanding of place value will develop further develop students' number sense. Students will work with numbers up through 1,000. This includes reading, writing, counting, adding and subtracting numbers. We will also explore the foundation for multiplication and division and how they are connected with adding and subtracting. In addition to these concepts, we will work on measurement, geometry, and fractions.

Day 1 --  Music

Day 2 -- Physical Education

Day 3 -- Library
