Welcome to Mrs. Bukowski's Second Grade Class.

This is my fourth year of teaching second grade at Our Lady of the Wayside. Previously, I taught pre-school for ten years and I spent two years in fourth grade as an aide and then a teacher. I am no stranger to second grade as I taught it for eight years before my children were born and prior to that third grade for three years.
My philosophy of teaching is to treat every child with respect and love and to always look for the best in every child. I thoroughly enjoy my job and working with your children everyday.
