Meet your 2nd Grade Team

Mrs. Blake

My name is Corrie Blake and I have the pleasure of joining your student on this learning journey through the second grade. This year will be full of discovery, new ideas, great friends, and growth. This year is going to be an exciting and fun filled year!

This is my 23rd year at D.W. Long!  My passion is teaching, but I also enjoy reading, spending time with friends and family, traveling. As a teacher, I believe in respecting the intelligence of children. I believe that every child wants to learn and will develop new skills and information in an individual way. My job is to encourage those interests in learning with your child and share as much information as possible with you on our progress.

Mrs. Hernandez

My name is Andrea Hernandez  and I am very excited to be your child’s second grade teacher for this school year!  This will be my 18th year teaching in the Etiwanda School District, but Etiwanda has always been my home.  I grew up in Fontana so Etiwanda was my school district beginning in the third grade until I graduated from Etiwanda High School.  From there I attended the University of California at Santa Cruz where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Education.  I then moved back to Southern California in 2004 where I decided to pursue a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and my Masters in Education.  I graduated from Azusa Pacific University in 2008 with both of these in hand. It is with great enthusiasm that I set off on this year’s second grade journey with your student!

Mrs. Singleton

Hi, my name is Mrs. Singleton! This is my 27th year of teaching and I am excited to be back in Second Grade. I have worked at several schools within the district, provided professional development, and I have acted as the Grade Level Chair for multiple years. In addition, I have worked as a mentor teacher to student teachers while teaching TK-2nd across the years. My teaching journey began in LAUSD after graduating from UCLA where I taught Kinder for 4 years. After that my family and I moved to the Inland Empire and West Heritage was my first Etiwanda home. I taught Second Grade for 6 years there then Long became my second Etiwanda home where I continued in Second Grade. I'm happy to be back and I am looking forward to a great year! ​

Welcome to Room 4! I am so thrilled to be your student's learning leader! Second grade is an exciting year filled with growth and exploration and I Iook forward to watching your student grow! This is my 8th year teaching 2nd graders at DWL. I live in Ontario with my husband Bryan and our beautiful daughter Willa, and our goldendoodle Oakley. Our family likes to go camping, attend sporting events, try new coffee shops, and spend time with our friends and family. My favorite part about second grade is their enthusiasm for learning and fun! I am excited for this year. It is going to be great!

A little about myself, I have been teaching at DW for 25 years now (wow, I know I just aged myself)!  These years have been an incredible journey and calling on my life.  I am passionate about what I do, and feel very blessed to be able to be a part of your child's educational life.

Good Morning Families,


We hope you had a wonderful weekend.  Only 19 more days of school left!  Wow.....it seems to be flying by.

This week our class will be focusing on what makes parts of the world different from one another. Why are there mountains in some places and deserts in other places?
Here are some activities that you can do with your child to help reinforce the skills we’ll be practicing.
Word Workout

  • Words to Know: compound words You and your child will define each vocabulary word. Then you’ll make up a question using each word, and your child will make up an answer using that list word.

  • Spelling/Phonics: silent letters wr, kn, gn, mb, sc You will say each list word, and your child will spell it and tell you which letter is silent. This week’s words contain the silent letters in words spelled with wr, kn, gn, mb, and sc.

We hope you have a wonderful week.  Thank you for all of your support and donations throughout this year.

With Smiles,

2nd Grade Team
