Welcome to second grade! My name is Jill Anderson. My teaching experience includes 20 years as a kindergarten teacher and one year in first grade. I began teaching second grade in 2007 and LOVE working with this age group.  My goal as a teacher of young children is to instill a love for learning in my students.  I want them to grow in many ways and to become lifelong learners.  I consider the families of my students to be my partners in this adventure.  I believe it is important to keep communication open between us and I hope that you will always feel comfortable contacting me with questions or concerns.  In my free time, l love spending time with my husband, three children, labrador retriever Kona, and friends. I also enjoy crafting, gardening, reading, decorating, and spending time at our cabin. I am looking forward to a great year with your second grader!
