Greetings 2nd Grade Parents,
Welcome back from our first "off" week. I trust all of the students had a little mental reprieve from school work and are ready to jump back in. We will have a busy week like usual but will get to finish it off with our annual pumpkin field trip to Carver Farms on Fri. at 12:30pm. Cost is $6 for each student and for any adults who wish to purchase the same produce that the students get. Otherwise, parents or family are free to drive on over and join us for this fun time. Please remind your student to dress appropriately for walking through fields of dirt and twisty vines along with a possible chilly day. Please make sure money and permission slips are in to their teacher by Wed. of this week.
We are really sailing through our math curriculum and all of the students are working very hard. We will continue to work on counting money, knowing time to the hour and 1/2 hours and learning temperatures (three great things to practice at home).
Our spelling words are starting to get more challenging so I encourage you to have your students practice them several times during the week.
Please see the principal note for all other upcoming events and information. See you all on Monday and please contact me with any concerns or questions.
Thank You,
Mrs. Lee
