Welcome to Mrs. Olsen’s "Simply Second" website page! 

“You are a good friend because you are kind to me.” “I notice that your artwork has alot of detail.” “I like it when we read together on the bean bag chairs.” “Thank-you for helping me clean up.” Upon entering the Second Grade  classroom you will have the pleasure of hearing the children compliment each other throughout their school day experience. It is a joy and honor to be a part of the Appleton Village School family as the Second and First Grade Math teacher. I truly enjoy teaching my young students the joy of learning through sign language, peer coaching, role modeling, hands-on activities, Everyday Math, physical movement (Brain Gym), sharing (Responsive Classroom), and Guided Discovery, but my greatest joy is helping them to build new friendships and become confident and kind community members. My goal is to create a positive, peaceful, nurturing and educational environment where my students look forward to coming to school everyday!
