Lorin Shimonek - Second Grade Teacher

Welcome New Second Graders and Families,
Welcome to second grade at Blue Heron! I am so excited to spend the next school year learning with you!
My name is Lorin Shimonek, or Ms. Shim, as you will probably call me by the end of August! 2022/2023 will be my seventh year at Blue Heron and my twenty-third year in Jeffco. I have taught third, fourth, and fifth grades. This will be my third year teaching second grade. I am loving the second grade!
Outside of school, I like to keep busy! You will find me riding a bike at the Cyclebar several times a week. I am working on running a marathon in all 50 states. I am halfway there! I also love to travel. My dog, Hubert, wishes I was a home a little more!
We are going to have a fabulous 2022-2023 school year. In second grade, you will have the opportunity to work with all three second grade teachers for different subject areas. Students will be rotating classes this year for Math, Literacy Instruction and Labs (explore, engineer, create, imagine and research labs to support and extend learning.) Each teacher will teach one of those subjects to each of the three classes. In addition to one of these classes, I will be your teacher for Reading groups. I am looking forward to having you in my class this year.
