Hi, my name is Jamie Shaffer. I have been teaching Second Grade at St. Michael Lutheran School for many years. I taught first grade in Lee County Public Schools for six years before coming to St. Michael. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from Indiana University and a Masters degree in Pre-Kindergarten/Primary Education from Nova Southeastern University. I have also completed the colloquy program through Concordia University.

My husband, Russ Wheeler is also a teacher. Our greatest blessing is our son Blake who attends school here at St. Michael. 

Second grade at St. Michael offers a wide variety of curriculum challenges. We begin learning about Science and Social Studies extensively as well as studies of seven different countries around the world. Much of our focus in the language arts area encompasses using phonograms to fine tune our reading and writing skills. In Math, we continue to practice our addition and subtraction facts and even begin multiplication and division readiness skills. We work hard each day in second grade on basic skills, critical thinking, and cultural awareness while learning to be more like Jesus!
