Dear Second Grade Parents,
Welcome to Second Grade! My name is Lisa McClain and I am very excited to be your child’s classroom teacher this year. I’m looking forward to providing your child with a year full of learning, growth, and fun.
I grew up here in West Des Moines and graduated from Dowling Catholic High School in 1992. I went on to the University of Iowa (Go Hawks!) where I received my BA in Elementary Education. This is my 23rd year teaching here at Sacred Heart and I have to say I have truly loved every minute of it. I started out teaching third grade for ten years, then moved to second grade and this will be my thirteenth year. My husband Craig teaches in the social studies department at Dowling Catholic and is a coach for varsity football. We have two children whom light up our lives. Kaitlyn is 21 and a senior at Iowa State. Michael is 18 and a senior at Dowling Catholic High School.
I am very excited about this school year. This grade level is such an important one with so many memorable moments including Reconciliation and First Communion. I am thrilled to be a part of that very special moment in your child’s life.
I am excited about all the new learning your child will be experiencing this school year! I intend to challenge your student in areas that they excel in, and give extra support to any areas of need. I will work hard at teaching to your child’s needs while utilizing all of the resources available to me.
I look forward to working closely with you and your child as I help them grow in their knowledge and faith to be a confident and successful learner.
God Bless,
Lisa McClain
