My name is Katie Beltz and I am thrilled to welcome your child to second grade! I have been teaching at Bear Creek since 2010. My greatest passion is teaching second grade and I am blessed to work with a fantastic group of students and parents that make my job so wonderful. I earned my teaching certification and Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Indiana Wesleyan University and hold a Master's Degree in Curriculum & Instruction. Second grade is filled with exciting learning experiences in literacy, insect studies, ocean habitat investigations, hands on math activities, writing across genres, and science experiments. My classroom is filled with creativity, friendship, learning, and positive interactions. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at any time!
