Hi! My name is Kay Schmidt! I started teaching at Walnut in 1999.  I enjoy teaching in the primary grades.  I have taught 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders for the past 20 years.  I love to teach the children at this age because they are so curious and ready to learn.  
In my classroom, children can achieve 2nd grade benchmarks through academics, field trips, and class projects.  One of our favorite class projects is a bake sale.  After our unit of study on money, we put our change counting skills to the test by having a school-wide bake sale!  This gives the kids a great hands-on experience with money, and it’s a great way to assess their money skills!
Second grade classes also enjoy yearly trips to the farm and Council Grove.  We have lots of fun in 2nd grade!
