Welcome to Second Grade! We've had a spectacular first few days, and we have been busy! Thank you for sending in all of your child's supplies! We are feeling very well stocked to start our year.
For the most part this week, we've just been practicing our classroom routines and trying to get back into the swing of things. In math we have reviewed some counting skills. We have also started some of our daily calendar routines such as date, attendance, number of the day, counting money, and weather. In reading we have talked about visualizing while we read. We have practiced making a picture in our head to see what the characters are doing in a story.
In our "Dates to Remember" section, I noted that Picture Day is next week Tuesday, September 9. Because we are in 2nd grade, and it is the K-2 picture day, our pictures are usually not taken until after lunch and lunch recess. If you have a certain shirt that you would like your child to wear for pictures and are concerned about them maybe spilling their lunch or getting too dirty outside, please send a spare with them to change into for lunch and recess.
Thanks again for your help and support for your child and our classroom as we begin this school year. I'm looking forward to a great year!
