Second Grade Newsletter
August/September 2008
Welcome to a brand new
school year! It's great to be back in the routine of learning! I'm
very excited about this school year. Working with new children is always a
welcome challenge to me, and I look forward to getting to know the second
graders and challenging them to do their best in school! There's nothing
like a fresh start - all things are possible!
We will be digging into
our new books and enjoying some new activities. Second Grade is a huge
year for learning and maturity - just watch us grow! I do plan to prepare
plays with the children later this fall. I will send information on that
as it becomes available. For now, we'll concentrate on getting into the
routine of school, reviewing some First Grade material, and then zooming into
the Second Grade curriculum. I believe the second graders will find school
fun and interesting. I know I always do!
