Meet a 2nd Grader: Ms. Schlegel

In our classroom we will be doing something called Owl of the Week! A paper will come home with your student sometime this year on a Friday explaining all there is to know! Basically, your child will fill out the paper about them, include a picture or draw one, and bring with them pictures of them, a favorite toy (that they are okay keeping at school all week), and a couple of their favorite books to read to our class. Throughout the week we will be learning a little bit more about each other and their items will be displayed in our classroom.


The first Owl of the Week is your teacher, Ms. Schlegel!

I am from Columbus NE and grew up with an older brother and two sisters. I moved to Lincoln for college to get my degree in Inclusive Early Childhood Education. When I graduated, I was a substitute for a semester and got a Kindergarten teaching job at Meadow Lane in the summer! At the end of the year I made the switch to 2nd grade and I am loving it so far!

I live with Adam, Wrigley the puppy, and Perry the cat and we love to be outside, ride bikes, travel, and spend time with our family and friends. Wrigley and Perry make for some really funny stories for me to tell in our classroom! I am a photographer and own Bliss Photo. I take pictures of newborns, kids, families, engagements, seniors, and weddings. It is a super fun job that I get to do when I am not teaching and I love it so much!

My two favorite books that I brought are ones from my childhood. Flea Flicker was given to me by my great grandma and it has two books on each side (The kids thought that was pretty cool!) My Little Mermaid Adventure is a personalized book given to me as a gift for my 4th birthday and is about me and my cousins as mermaids. We had a fun time reading these books!
