WELCOME
TO 2nd and 3rd GRADE
|
Dear Parents and Students,
My name is Serene Evanguelidi and I am the 2nd and 3rd grade homeroom teacher for the 2019-2020 school year. I teach 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade Math and Science, along with 2nd and 3rd grade Social Studies and Religion. This is my third year at St. Jerome School. I have previously taught K-12th grade at Catholic schools. I was part of the STEM Committee for Los Angeles Catholic Schools, which was led by Loyola Marymount University. Also, I have done marketing and admissions for a Catholic high school. I have earned two degrees from Loyola Marymount University. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Individual and Family and a Master of Arts degree in Education with an emphasis in Elementary and Literacy. I was blessed to have a Catholic education. I feel at home when teaching at a Catholic school. I am excited to help strengthen students’ faith, build upon math and science skills, encourage the appreciation for history, increase writing abilities, and reinforce reading across all subject matter. If you have any questions, you may email me at sevanguelidi@stjeromewestchester.org. God Bless, Mrs. Serene Evanguelidi

2nd and 3rd Grade
Student Schedule
Please note that Fridays follow a special elective schedule. Students attend mass followed by STEAM and one elective period.
Why STEAM
(Science, Technology,
Engneering, Art, AND Math)?
STEAM is the abbreviation for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math. It is an integrated approach to learning that encourages students to think more about real-world problems. It encourages students to ask questions, connect the dots, problem solve, think creatively, and be innovative. Students follow the Engineering Design Process, which is as follows:
1. ASK…What is the problem that I need to solve? 2. IMAGINE…What are some ways to solve the problem? 3. PLAN…What are we going to do to solve the problem? 4. CREATE…Let’s build it! 5. TEST…How well does it work? 6. IMPROVE…What can we do to make it better? Having students engage in STEAM activities at school, not only encourages higher order thinking skills, but it also promotes various STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) professions. Students learn about different careers in STEM. STEM professions currently double the income of the median job in the United States. A STEAM program prepares students for the future. I am excited for us to STEAM into the 2018-2019 school year! |
