Teacher Biography
Mrs. Becky Berletch
Welcome to Second Grade!
I am very excited to be your teacher. I have been involved with Our Lady of Peace School for many years. I watched my children grow up in this school and believe sending them to Our Lady of Peace was one of the greatest decisions my husband and I ever made.
I grew up in Mt. Olivet, W.V. and graduated from West Liberty University with a bachelor’s degree in elementary education. I am married and have two beautiful children. Coincidentally, both of my children are now attending West Liberty University.
In my time as a student of West Liberty, my professors constantly reminded me to be a catalyst for change in my classroom. Many years later, this concept remains a foundation of my teaching style. Every child is different, making it imperative that I can tailor my teaching to each student’s individual needs. I look forward to the 2021-2022 school year. I am determined to make this year the best one yet!

Summer Reading & Math Work
Summer Reading for Incoming Grade 2
Please choose three books to read. Check out your local library for books that interest your child. A summer reading list is attached to give your child suggestions on books to choose. Books chosen do not need to be from the list. Then, write a brief summary of each book, and include a drawing of your favorite part on the attached Book Report pages. Students are encouraged to participate in the Ohio or Marshall County Library Summer Reading programs.
Students are also required to finish the Summer Math Packet. These practice worksheets will help keep math skills sharp over the summer.
The Reading & Math packet is to be completed and turned in on Covenant night.
Have a wonderful summer!
